Light and fluffy, these sweet potato cakes are a great alternative to traditional potato latkes. I like to top mine with a sunny side up or poached egg and some sliced green onion.
You can also add them to a salad or eat them as a side.
The maple dipping sauce is a must-try!
INGREDIENTS
- 1-2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 1 cup sweet potatoes, baked, peeled, and mashed
- 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
- 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
- 1/4 cup ground flaxseed
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 green onions, chopped (for garnish)
- For the Dipping Sauce
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon organic maple syrup
- 4-5 dashes hot sauce, to taste
DIRECTIONS
- In a skillet, heat coconut oil over medium-high heat.
- In a separate bowl, combine potatoes, syrup, flax seed, cinnamon, nutmeg, and egg, mixing thoroughly.
- Form mixture into patties and cook like pancakes until lightly browned and very crisp.
- For the sauce: Whisk together all sauce ingredients and serve in ramekin alongside sweet potato cakes, for dipping.
