Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 medium Sweet potatoes
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 stalks Green onions
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them into a large mixing bowl using a box grater.
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the grated sweet potatoes.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them into the sweet potato mixture.
Add the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, then mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Using your hands, form the sweet potato mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Place the patties in the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd, and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat with the remaining batter, adding more olive oil to the skillet as needed.
Serve warm and enjoy as is, or with a dollop of your favorite dipping sauce or sour cream.
