For the Latke:

  1. Preheat oven to 375℉ (190℃).
  2. Place grated sweet potato in a clean tea towel and squeeze to remove any excess moisture. In a large bowl add the sweet potato, flour, onion, salt, sage and black pepper; mix well to combine. Over medium heat melt 2 tablespoons (28 grams) Crystal margarine in a large ovenproof skillet. Add the sweet potato mixture to pan and press down lightly to form into a cake; cook for 4 minutes.

  4. Invert a plate over the latke and flip it onto the plate so the cooked side is facing up. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons (28 grams) of Crystal margarine in the skillet and slide the latke back in. Cook 4 minutes and place in oven. Bake for 20 minutes, tenting with aluminum foil if the top begins to darken too much.

Chef Notes

  • If you don’t have time to soak the cashews overnight, cover them with boiling water and allow to soak for 2 hours.
