Ingredients
- 2 large sweet potatoes
- 1/2 onion, finely chopped (yellow or white)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil (plus extra for the pan)
- Salt, to taste
- Pepper, to taste
- Optional: 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, or a pinch of cayenne
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potatoes and grate them on the coarse side of a box grater over a bowl to catch the strands.
- Transfer the grated sweet potato to a clean kitchen towel, gather the towel, and squeeze hard to remove excess moisture.
- In a large bowl, combine the squeezed sweet potato, chopped onion, olive oil, salt, pepper, and any optional spices. Toss to combine.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and coat with a little olive oil.
- Add the sweet potato mixture in flat layers or form small patties in the skillet. Cook until the underside is deeply golden, about 4–6 minutes. Flip and cook until the other side is crisp, about 3–5 more minutes.
- Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate briefly to drain any excess oil and serve warm.
Notes
For firmer patties, add a beaten egg. Use avocado oil instead of olive oil for a higher smoke point. Substitute green onion greens for the onion for a lower-FODMAP option.
