Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato about 16 ounces
- 1 onion sliced thin
- 2 scallions diced
- 2 eggs beaten
- 3 tablespoons tapioca flour
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- Oil for frying I love avocado oil
Instructions
- Peel and grate the potato (you can use a food processor or grate by hand) then place in a bowl of cold water and set aside.
- Peel and grate the onions.
- Add both potato and onion mixture to a fine mesh strainer lined with a cheese cloth or a thin kitchen towel and strain as much excess water out as possible.
- Place mixture into a bowl, along with scallions, eggs, tapioca, salt and baking powder and mix well.
- Heat 1/2 cup of oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high heat.
- Once oil is hot, make patties out of the potato mixture (squeeze out even more excess liquid as you make patties) and pan-fry batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side. Add more oil as needed.
- Serve with hot with apple sauce or sour cream and enjoy!
