Potato, Sweet Potato and Onion Latkes

Grate potatoes and onion using the largest holes of a four-sided grater. Combine in a small bowl; add the egg, flour, salt, and pepper and stir well to combine. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Drop batter by heaping tablespoonfuls into the pan and cook until golden brown around the edges, about 3 minutes. Turn latkes over, press lightly with a spatula, and cook about 3 minutes more. Continue cooking in batches until batter is used up. Serve with applesauce or sour cream.
