Ingredients

1 large sweet potato
2 scallions chopped
½ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cumin
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
At least 2 tablespoon oil I used coconut

Instructions

Grate the potato, skin and all. Just be sure to scrub it first.
1 large sweet potato
Remove some of the moisture from the grated potato. I did this by pressing it in a strainer.
Put all the ingredients except the oil in a bowl.
2 scallions, ½ teaspoon cinnamon, ½ teaspoon cumin, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1 egg
Combine all the ingredients with your hands. Set aside.
Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Test to see if the oil is hot with a small pinch of sweet potato. If it sizzles you are ready to go!
At least 2 tablespoon oil
Make "cakes" out of the sweet potato mixture and place them directly into the oil.
Cook them until brown and crisp on one side (about 4 minutes) then flip.
After I flipped I flattened the cake with my spatula a bit. Cook for about 2-3 minutes then remove and drain excess oil on a paper towel.
I served mine with pork loin and broccoli.
