Step 1
Chop fennel and chard. Set aside in a large pan with a drizzle of olive oil.
Step 2
Chop 1/3 scallion tops or spring onion tops and add to a large bowl or bowl of a stand mixer.
Step 3
Peel and halve the sweet potatoes, then shred them in a food processor. Add the shredded sweet potatoes, spring onion tops and flour to a large bowl or a stand mixer bowl.
Step 4
Add 1 teaspoon garlic granules, 1 teaspoon of savory salt and 2 eggs to the large bowl or a stand mixer bowl.
Step 5
Turn on stand mixer to medium speed and mix until combined. Or mix by hand until just combined.
Step 7
Spoon 5 tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture to your palm and press together.
Step 8
Gently add the sweet potato portion to the sesame oil in the pan and fry for a few seconds and then press to flatten. Continue forming latkes and add up to 4 or 5 latkes in the pan at a time. Fry latkes until golden brown on both sides.
Step 9
Once latkes are almost done with perhaps one batch remaining, sauté chard and fennel.
