This is an elegant dairy remake of classic latkes. You can also fry the sweet potato slices without the filling and serve them with a sour cream dip.

Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
-
Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into ¾-inch (2-centimeter) rounds.
-
Using a sharp knife, slit each slice in the center, almost to the end, to form a pocket for the filling. (In order to get uniform-sized slices, you can use a 2-inch cookie cutter.)
-
Place the sweet potato rounds in a pot of water and bring to a boil. Lower the flame and cook for 7 more minutes. Drain and cool well.
-
Mix the filling ingredients in a bowl. Gently fill the middle of each sweet potato round with 1 teaspoon of filling and close. (If the slices come apart, that’s okay, but it’s important to close them well.)
-
Beat eggs and salt in a bowl with a fork, and place bread crumbs in a separate bowl.
-
In a pot, heat enough oil to semi-deep fry.
-
Dip the sweet potato sandwiches into the egg mixture and then into the crumbs.
-
Fry until golden on both sides. (Make sure that the oil isn’t too hot so the sweet potato has enough time to soften.)
Prepare the Salad
-
Mix the lettuce, cabbage, and carrot slices in a serving bowl.
-
Combine all vinaigrette ingredients in a small dish.
-
Pour the dressing over the vegetables and top with orange or grapefruit segments and pomegranate arils. Arrange sweet potato sandwiches on top and serve.
