Step 1

Combine the sweet potato, cornflour, shallot and egg in a large bowl.

Step 2

Heat 2 teaspoons of oil in a frying pan over medium-high heat. Add 8 heaped tablespoonfuls of sweet potato mixture to the pan. Press down with a spatula. Cook for 2 minutes each side or until golden. Transfer to a baking tray lined with paper towel. Repeat, in 4 more batches, with remaining oil and sweet potato mixture.

Step 3

Arrange the latkes on a serving plate. Top each with a dollop of sour cream and drizzle over a little sweet chilli sauce. Top with coriander leaves to serve.
