This easy latke recipe makes 12 latkes. Begin by tossing together the grated sweet potatoes, grated Cabot Sharp Cheddar and grated (or finely minced) red onion in a large bowl until well blended. Add in the egg and mix well. Sprinkle flour over the potato mixture and mix again.

Heat canola oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, form potato mixture into 4-inch pancakes, using your hands or a large kitchen spoon. Working in batches, carefully lower latkes into the hot oil. Fry on the first side for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until the bottom starts to turn golden brown.

Flip the latkes over with a spatula and cook on the second side until golden, about 2 more minutes. Transfer latkes to a plate lined with paper towels to drain. Repeat with remaining latkes.

Serve hot with Cabot Sour Cream or Cabot Plain Greek Yogurt.
