Sweet Potato Latkes with Maple Creme Fraiche

For the Latkes:

  cup all-purpose flour
 2 large kosher eggs, lightly beaten
 1 tsp salt
 ½ tsp black pepper
 ¾ cup Colavita Olive Oil

Grate the sweet potatoes in a food processor with the grater attachment.

Pour enough Colavita Olive Oil into a deep, 12-inch nonstick skillet to reach ¼” deep. Heat the oil over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking.

Working in batches of 4, spoon 1/8 cup potato mixture per latke into oil and flatten to 3-inch diameter with a slotted spatula. Reduce heat to moderate and cook until golden, about 3 minutes on each side. Flip and cook another 3 minutes on the other side.

5

Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.

Next, prepare the maple crème fraiche. In a small bowl combine the crème fraiche and the maple syrup. Wisk until well combined.
