A different approach to sweet potatoes: fragrant little spiced patties, sort of like Indian latkes! Total time depends on the utensils available to you: I hand-grated everything, so prep time was about an hour. Read more . You'll probably need less time than me! Adapted from Hollyhock Cooks, by the Hollyhock Cooks (New Society Publishers, 2003). Ingredients:
1/2 teaspoon whole cumin seeds |
4 eggs |
5 cups grated (about 2 medium) sweet potatoes |
1 cup grated onion |
3/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro |
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper |
1 teaspoon paprika |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pepper |
optional |
2 teaspoons grated ginger |
1 dash red pepper flakes |
Directions:
1. 1. In a small frying pan, toast the cumin seeds until just brown.
2. 2. In a medium mixing bowl, whip the eggs, then mix in remaining ingredients, including the toasted cumin seeds.
3. 3. Heat a large, heavy-bottomed skillet and oil lightly. Drop batter by spoonful into the pan and cook slowly on each side until cakes are very golden, about 25 minutes. Keep warm under a tea towel while cooking the remaining cakes.
