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
Directions
Step 1
Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them into a large mixing bowl using a box grater.
Step 2
Finely chop the green onions and mince the garlic cloves, then add them to the grated sweet potatoes.
Step 3
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs and pour them into the sweet potato mixture.
Step 4
Add the flour, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the bowl, then mix well to combine all the ingredients.
Step 5
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat.
Step 6
Using your hands, form the sweet potato mixture into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
Serve warm and enjoy as is, or with a dollop of your favorite dipping sauce or sour cream.
