My crispy sweet potato cakes are so versatile. You can eat them as a side with breakfast, lunch, or dinner! I enjoy pairing them with eggs, on a salad, or with grilled chicken or fish.
I created this recipe because I love sweet potatoes and was tired of preparing them the same way. This is such an easy way to elevate them!
INGREDIENTS
Sweet potato – I used a large sweet potato for this recipe.
Parmesan cheese – Everything is better with cheese!
Spices – I used salt & pepper, onion powder, garlic powder, and paprika.
Egg – I used 1 large egg.
Flour & panko bread crumbs – Used to create a crispy breading.
Vegetable oil – For frying the sweet potato cakes.
Sour cream & red pepper flakes – For optional garnish.
HOW TO MAKE CRISPY SWEET POTATO CAKES
Poke holes all over the sweet potato with a fork. Place on a plate and microwave for 5-6 minutes or until tender.
Once the potato is cool enough to handle, peel off the skin and place the potato in a bowl. Mash with a fork and mix in the cheese and seasonings.
Use your hands to create 3 cakes (patty shaped). Place the flour, egg, and bread crumbs in 3 separate bowls. You will coat the cakes in the flour, then egg, then bread crumbs.
Once you have the cakes prepped, add enough oil to coat the bottom of a large saucepan- we will be shallow frying the potato cakes. Heat the oil over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add in the potato cakes. Cook each side for about 2 minutes- until golden brown. Place on a plate lined with a paper towel to absorb the excess oil.
Garnish with sour cream and red pepper flakes if desired.
Enjoy immediately for the best crispiness!
