Sweet Potato Latkes

Modified from https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/sweet-potato-latkes-105919 

Ingredients
2 lb sweet potatoes, peeled and coarsely grated
4 scallions (or equivalent chives or green part of leeks), finely chopped
2/3 cup all-purpose flour (GF flour also works)
4 large eggs, lightly beaten
2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon black pepper
3/4 cup vegetable oil

Mix all ingredients through pepper. (Note: If you want more of a patty, mix yams and scallions, then regrind in food processor to desired texture/consistency.)
Pour oil into large, non-stick frying pan until it just covers the bottom of the pan. Heat on medium. Once oil is hot, reduce heat to medium-low.
Using your hands, form balls of approximately 1-1/2" or 2", place in pan, and press down with fingers or a fork. 
Flip latkes when golden. If flipped too early, flip back until desired done-ness -- approximately 2 minutes per side.
