Peel baking and sweet potatoes and cut lengthwise into quarters.
By hand or in food processor using shredder blade, alternately shred onions and potatoes.
Transfer to colander; squeeze out as much moisture as possible, discarding liquid.
Transfer to large bowl. Mix in eggs, flour, baking powder, salt and pepper.
In 2 skillets, heat 1/4 inch (5 mm) oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking.
Add 1/4 cup (50 mL) mixture per latke, leaving space between each; flatten slightly.
Cook for 3 minutes or until browned and crisp around edges; turn and cook for 3 to 5 minutes longer, or until crisp and golden. Transfer to paper towel-lined racks to drain well.
Repeat with remaining mixture, stirring to reblend, removing any cooked bits from skillet and adding more oil as necessary. (Make-ahead: Cover and refrigerate for up to 3 hours; recrisp in 450ºF/230ºC oven for about 5 minutes.)
