Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
- Grate the russet potatoes and sweet potatoes on the large holes of a box grater and transfer to a large colander set over a bowl. Grate the onion and add to the colander. Sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. Firmly squeeze the mixture with your hands to extract as much liquid as possible (blot dry on paper towels if especially wet). Transfer the mixture to a large bowl. Mix in the chives. Add the flour and egg and stir until thoroughly combined.
- Using 1/4 cup of the mixture at a time, form tightly packed pancakes about 2 inches wide and transfer to a paper towel-lined baking sheet.
- Heat about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Fry the pancakes in batches until golden brown and crisp, 4 to 5 minutes per side. Transfer to a baking sheet in the oven while cooking the remaining pancakes.
- Serve with applesauce, prepared horseradish and/or sour cream.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees F (95 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with paper towels.
- Fill a bowl with lightly-salted water. Rinse the grated sweet potato in the water, and drain into a sieve. Pat the grated sweet potato dry with a cloth or paper towels, then place into a bowl. Squeeze excess moisture from the grated onion, and place into the bowl with the sweet potato. Stir the eggs and pepper into the mixture until well combined.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers, and spoon about 1 heaping tablespoon of the potato mixture per patty into the hot oil. Flatten the patties with a fork, and fry until golden brown and crisp on the bottom, 5 to 8 minutes. Flip and cook on the other side, sprinkle with salt, then set the cooked patties aside on the prepared baking sheet in the preheated oven while you finish cooking the latkes. Stir the potato mixture before cooking each batch of patties. Serve hot with applesauce and yogurt.

Steps:
- Stir together potatoes, scallions, flour, eggs, salt, and pepper.
- Heat oil in a deep 12-inch nonstick skillet 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 1 1/2 minutes on each side. Transfer latkes with spatula to paper towels to drain.
Tips:
- For the best results, use Yukon Gold potatoes. They have a higher starch content than other varieties, which makes them more likely to hold together when grated.
- Make sure to squeeze as much water out of the grated potatoes as possible. This will help to prevent the latkes from being soggy.
- Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the latkes. This will cause them to steam instead of fry, and they won't be as crispy.
- Serve the latkes hot with your favorite toppings. Some popular options include sour cream, applesauce, and smoked salmon.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato chive latkes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be served as an appetizer, side dish, or main course. They're easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you're looking for a new way to enjoy sweet potatoes, give these latkes a try!
