    Instructions

    1 Preheat oven to 180°C. Place cornflour, garlic powder and sesame seeds in a large mixing bowl. Make a well in centre, then add eggs, whisking to combine. Add the carrot, sweet potato and spring onions, tossing to combine.

    2 Heat the oil in a large ovenproof frying pan over medium-high heat. Pour mixture into pan and cook for 5 minutes. Transfer pan to oven and cook for a further 15–18 minutes, or until the potato is cooked and crispy.

    3 Meanwhile, to make pickled cucumber, place the vinegar and honey in a large bowl, mixing to dissolve honey. Add cucumber, gently tossing to coat, then set aside for 10 minutes.

    4 To make tahini yoghurt, place all ingredients in a small bowl, mixing to combine. Transfer latke fritters to a large serving plate. Top with pickled cucumbers, dollop with tahini yogurt and serve garnished with mixed salad leaves.

    HFG tip

    When your latkes are golden and ready to take out of the pan, move them to a 90°C oven to keep them crisp while frying the rest of your batch.
