Ingredients

4 cups peeled and grated sweet potatoes
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Olive oil for frying
Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, zested and juiced
Pinch salt

Steps:

In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, jalapeno, flour, baking powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper.
In a small bowl lightly beat the milk and egg until well mixed. Add to the sweet potato mixture, stirring, until all the ingredients are well combined.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover bottom of skillet. Drop the sweet potato mixture, by rounded teaspoonfuls, into the hot oil. Press lightly to flatten the mixture to the size of a half dollar. Cook until the cakes are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the cakes to a serving platter. Top each cake with a small amount of Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Time 50m

Yield 12 potato cakes

Number Of Ingredients 10

Ingredients

1 large egg
2 Thai green chilies, seeded and finely chopped
1 clove garlic, peeled and minced
1 teaspoon minced ginger
Juice and finely grated zest of 1 lime
1 cup, densely packed, cooked and cooled mashed sweet potatoes
3 cups, densely packed, cooked and cooled mashed white potatoes
4 scallions, finely chopped
1/2 cup chopped cilantro leaves
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

Break egg into a bowl, and whisk in chilies, garlic and ginger. Add juice and zest of lime, and mix well.
In a large bowl, combine sweet potatoes, white potatoes, scallions and cilantro. Mix well with a fork. Add egg mixture, and stir until evenly blended.
Line a baking sheet with plastic wrap. Using a 1/3-cup measure, scoop up some of the mixture. With wet hands, shape into a flat cake or patty, then place on plastic. Make 12 cakes. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1/2 hour, to help them keep their shape when frying.
Place a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, and add oil. When oil is hot, add potato cakes. Fry, turning once, until crisp and golden brown on both sides, about 3 to 5 minutes a side. Serve hot.
