1 LB (2 medium sized) sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
5 Tbls diced red bell pepper
5 Tbls diced scallion or regular onion
5 Tbls flour
3 Tbls brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon cumin
1 teaspoon chili powder
1 teaspoon oregano
1/4 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1 egg beaten
In a mixing bowl toss the grated potato, red pepper and egg together
In a separate bowl mix the flour, brown sugar, and other spices.
In a large pan melt enough butter to cover the pan.
While waiting for the butter to melt mix the two bowls together and stir until well blended.
NOTE:
The spices cause the vegetables to sweat and more liquid will accumulate the longer it is uncooked.
Over medium heat place a 4 ounce (Size of half dollar) portion of the mixture in the pan and form into a round cake.
Fry cakes until they become golden brown, flip and fry the other side.
Remove the cakes from the pan and place on a place with paper towel.
Yield: around 15 – 20 cakes.
