Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Peel and dice the sweet potatoes into small cubes.
Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potato cubes. Cook until they are fork-tender, about 10 minutes.
Drain the cooked sweet potatoes and transfer them to a large mixing bowl. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until smooth.
Add the breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, chopped green onions, egg, salt, garlic powder, and black pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until all the ingredients are fully combined and a dough-like consistency forms.
Using your hands, divide the mixture into equal portions and shape them into patties about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, carefully add the patties to the pan. Cook in batches if needed to avoid overcrowding.
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy on the outside.
Add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil to the pan as needed for subsequent batches.
Once cooked, transfer the patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Serve warm as is or with your favorite dipping sauce, and enjoy!
