Categories     Appetizer     Side Dish

Number Of Ingredients 9

1.5 lbs sweet potatoes
1/3 cup diced green onions
1 egg
1/2 cup plain bread crumbs
1 Tbsp minced fresh cilantro
2 Tbsp sour cream
1 large clove of garlic
salt and fresh cracked pepper to taste
Vegetable oil for cooking

Steps:

  • To bake sweet potatoes: wash them well, poke a couple of holes with a knife, wrap in foil and bake at 350 until soft. Bake time will depend on how large are your sweet potatoes. If you get smaller ones, you can significantly decrease cooking time. Once done, cool until easy to handle and scoop out all the potato meat into the mixing bowl.
  • To boil sweet potatoes: wash, peel and cut them in half or in four pieces, depending on the size. Add cut sweet potato pieces to salted boiling water and cook until butter knife easily goes through. Drain and add them to the mixing bowl.
  • Mash sweet potatoes in a mixing bowl until smooth.
  • Add green onions, cilantro, sour cream, egg, bread crumbs, grated garlic and mix well.
  • Add salt and pepper, mix well and taste to make sure you have enough.
  • Preheat a medium saute pan over medium heat. Add some vegetable oil.
  • Form sweet potato patties and cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side. Use a small spatula and flip carefully.

CRISPY POTATO CAKE



Crispy Potato Cake image

When grated and fried into a potato cake, super cheap potatoes take on an impressive and fancy look that every budget-minded cook can appreciate. A crispy, browned potato cake (often called a roesti potato cake) makes an excellent side dish to meat loaf or any saucy dish, and I especially love it paired with fried or poached eggs and a little salsa. Eggs and potatoes for dinner costs so little to make and tastes so comforting and indulgent at the end of a busy day.

Time 30m

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 large russet potatoes, peeled and grated
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley

Steps:

  • Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a nonstick 10-inch skillet. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the grated potatoes into the pan in an even layer and, using a spatula, gently press them into the pan. Season with about half of the salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook without shaking or stirring the pan, until they're crisp and browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Slide the potato cake onto a large plate and invert it onto another plate. Slide the potato cake back into the pan, browned side up, and season the top with the remaining salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the underside is nicely browned and the potato cake is cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes longer.
  • Slide the potato cake onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.
