Preheat oven to 275 degrees F. Peel potatoes and beets. Using a box grater or the grater disk on a food processor, grate potatoes and beets. Add to a strainer or colander in sink and press down to release as much liquid as possible.
In a large bowl, combine potato mixture, egg, flour, thyme, baking powder and salt.
In a 12" skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high. Working in batches, carefully add about three 1 tablespoon mounds to skillet, spacing 2" apart. Gently flatten. Cook until golden brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
Transfer latkes to a wire rack set inside a baking sheet. Season with salt to taste. Place latkes in oven to keep warm. Repeat with remaining potato mixture, adding more oil to the pan as needed. Serve latkes with sour cream. Garnish with dill, if desired.
