Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
1 small onion, grated or finely chopped
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour (or cornstarch for gluten-free)
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter) for frying
Instructions
Grate sweet potatoes and place in a clean towel; squeeze out excess moisture.
In a bowl, combine grated sweet potatoes, onion, egg, flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until well combined.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Scoop about 1/4 cup of mixture and press into patties.
Cook for 3–4 minutes per side, until crispy and golden brown.
Drain on paper towels and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, make patties thin and don’t overcrowd the pan.
Add fresh herbs like parsley or cilantro for freshness.
Can bake at 400°F (200°C) for 20–25 minutes as a lighter option.
