Ingredients: 4 cups coarsely grated sweet potatoes; 1/2 cup grated onion; 3 to 4 tablespoons fresh squeezed lemon juice; Freshly ground pepper, to taste; 4 eggs, beaten; 1/3 cup flour; Neutral oil, such as canola or grapeseed, for frying; creme fraiche, sour cream, yogurt, or apple sauce for serving; Caviar for serving (optional); Fresh chives, minced, for sprinkling

1
Combine sweet potatoes, onion, lemon, salt, pepper, eggs, and flour.
2
Heat a medium-sized skillet over medium heat. (See note above re: making a test fritter before frying up the entire batch.) Add enough oil to coat the bottom surface. Using a tablespoon, scoop out mounded spoonfuls of the batter and drop into the pan. The batter should sizzle upon contact. Cook until golden and crisp, flip -- I use a fork -- and cook until the second size is golden and crisp. For me, it often takes one round to get the timing and temperature right. Transfer fritters to a baking sheet or cooling rack and repeat with remaining batter. Add more oil as needed.
3
Let cool briefly before adding creme fraiche (it will melt!) and caviar. Arrange on platter sprinkle and sprinkle with chives.
