(Here's one of the recipes I promised last week! I'm starting with a good one) |
I served these with black bean burgers topped with my famous roasted tomatoes. |
Recently, I was fortunate to
receive a big box of ‘left-over’ sweet potatoes from our church pantry…..they
were pretty far gone and needed lots of ‘surgery’ if you know what I mean. You know they're ready for the compost pile when the church food pantry can't use them…. Bruises,
rotten spots, mysterious squishy places….but no harm, I kept slicing and
dicing, and voila!
A note: the first time I made these I grated the potatoes
with great success (but some mess!) The second time I made these I shredded the
potatoes in the food processor with less success…..the shreds were way too long….you
want them much more ‘shreddy’ if you know what I mean.
Here’s what
you need:
About 4 cups
of shredded sweet potatoes
3 T minced
onion
3 T lemon
juice
4 beaten
eggs
¼ C flour
Salt and
pepper
(cumin would
be great in these also if you are in a spicy mood)
Here’s what
you do:
Mix
everything, fry in small bundles in a bit of oil until nice and crisp. Flip carefully
and fry till cooked through. Sprinkle a little sea salt over top while they are warm. Nice.
Tracy, these sound wonderful - I will have to try them. I'm alway trying to find ways of making my family eat veg. They are not keen!!
ReplyDelete@Ellie, they are pretty darn good! Try them and let me know what your family thinks!
