Sweet Potato Latkes (v)

Ingredients

• 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled & grated
• 2 large eggs
• 4 green onions, white and light green parts only, chopped
• 45 g all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)

• Sour cream and green onions for service

Directions

1. Prep: Peel sweet potato and squeeze out as much moisture as possible using a cloth or paper towel.
2. Mix: In a large bowl, combine sweet potato, eggs, green onion, flour, and salt. Mix until evenly combined.

Chef's Notes

• This is a vegetarian dish - replace eggs with a plant-based alternative to make vegan
