summary
This dish is totally inspired by some of my fave sweet potato pancakes from a restaurant in Tel-aviv. The restaurant closed years ago and I still dream of them so I selfishly put a spin on my own that captures those flavors. The soy sauce in the sweet potato latkes brings a depth to the pancake and the insane amount of chives in the sour cream totally plays up the dish as well.
ingredients
- Latke Ingredients:
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1 yellow onion- grated
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons of flour
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Avocado oil or grapeseed oil to fry
- Chive Sour Cream Ingredients:
- 1 cup sour cream
- ½ lemon zested and juiced
- ½ cup freshly chopped chives
- Kosher salt and cracked black pepper to season
directions
- Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and yellow onion. Transfer to a cheesecloth and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
- Place in a bowl and add in the eggs, flour, soy sauce and season well with salt and black pepper. Mix until combined and heat up the green pan pro ceramic midnight blue frying pan with avocado oil.
- When the oil is hot, place a large spoonful of the mixture onto the bottom of the pan. Fry until golden around 3-5 minutes and then flip with the crate and barrel stainless steel spatula and fry on the other side.
- Remove when it’s done and place on a paper towel. Season with salt. I like to keep the oven at 200°F.and place the finished latkes in there to stay warm while I finish making them. Serve with the chive sour cream.
- Chive Sour Cream Directions: In a bowl add the sour cream, chives, lemon juice and zest and season well with salt and black pepper. Keep in the fridge until you use it.
