Directions

Combine all the ingredients for the Leek Sour Cream in a bowl. Mix until thoroughly combined and store in the fridge until serving.
Place the grated sweet potatoes and onion in the middle of a couple layers of cheesecloth or clean shop towel. Collect the corners of the cloth and squeeze as much moisture as possible out of the vegetables. Remove the mixture from the cloth and place in a large mixing bowl.
In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and add them to the sweet potato mixture. Stir in the flour, baking powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Heat Leek Olive Oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Scoop about ¼ cup of the mixture into the pan for each latke, flattening them into patties.
Fry in batches for about 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crispy. Serve warm with a dollop of Leek Sour Cream.
