Ingredients
  

For the Sweet Potato Cakes
  • 2 large large sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed These give the cakes a creamy texture when mashed.
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs More for coating if needed.
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese Adds a nice savory flavor.
  • 1/4 cup chopped green onions For a fresh bite.
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder Enhances flavor.
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika For a bit of smokiness.
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 large egg, lightly beaten For binding the mixture.
  • Oil for frying Can use cooking spray or olive oil.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) if you're opting for the baked version.
  2. In a large pot, boil the sweet potatoes until they are fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash them in a large bowl.
  3. Add breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Stir until well combined and fold in the beaten egg.
  4. Form the mixture into small patties, about 2 inches in diameter.
Cooking
  1. If baking, transfer to a lined baking sheet, spray the tops with a bit of oil and bake for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway, until golden brown and crispy.
  2. If frying, heat a pan over medium heat, add oil, and cook until golden on both sides.
Serving
  1. Serve hot with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
