Sweet Potato Latkes With Chile-Lime Sour Cream

Recipe Ingredients

3 tablespoons	45ml	Plain yogurt
2 tablespoons	30ml	Sour cream
1 tablespoon	15ml	Chile pepper - seeded, minced (small)
2 tablespoons	30ml	Fresh lime juice
1 lb	454g / 16oz	Sweet potatoes - peeled, grated
2/3 cup	41g / 1.4oz	Minced onion
1/2 teaspoon	2.5ml	Salt
1/4 teaspoon	1.3ml	Freshly-ground black pepper
2		Eggs - beaten
5 tablespoons	75ml	Flour
2 tablespoons	30ml	Butter or olive oil
2		Scallions - chopped

Recipe Instructions

In a small bowl, combine yogurt, sour cream, chile pepper, lime juice, and salt and pepper to taste. Stir well and set aside.

In a large bowl, combine sweet potato, onion, salt and pepper. Add eggs; mix well. Add flour and mix again.

In a large skillet, heat butter or olive oil over medium-high heat. (Do not use a non-stick skillet or latke crust will be too thin.) Divide potato mixture in half; drop the halves into skillet to form two cakes. (If your skillet cannot hold both latkes, cook them one at a time.) Flatten latkes with a large spoon until they are about 1 inch thick and about 5 inches in diameter. Fry 4 to 5 minutes until they are deep brown on the underside, then flip and cook for 3 to 4 minutes more.

Serve hot, garnished with chile-lime sour cream and scallions.
