Sweet Potato Cakes

Now that the days are longer, you’ll start seeing a few more recipe posts from me. Time in the evening to prepare a meal and take photos is valuable.

The recipe below is based on one that I found on a food blog from New Zealand. While that recipe takes a curried approach to sweet potato, I went a different route. I didn’t have curry powder on hand, so I used cumin and cilantro to put a Mexican spin on the dish. It turned out deliciously! Keep reading below for this quick and easy recipe.

Sweet Potato Cakes

makes 3 cakes


1/2 large sweet potato

2 tbsp flour

1 tsp cumin

1/2 tsp chili powder

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/4 tsp black pepper

1/4 tsp cayenne pepper

Oil

Peel and grate sweet potato. Mix all dry ingredients. Mix grated sweet potato into dry ingredients and form three flat cakes. Heat a drizzle of oil in a frying pan. Cook each cake until golden brown on each side. Serve warm (these lose their crispy texture if reheated) with a mixture of mayonnaise, cilantro, and lemon juice. Enjoy!
