Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 large sweet potato (about 12 oz)
  • 1 large egg
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp garlic powder
  • 2 to 3 tbsp vegetable oil

Method
 

  1. Peel and grate the sweet potato, then squeeze the shreds tightly in a kitchen towel until dry.
  2. Toss the shreds with egg, flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder in a bowl until evenly coated.
  3. Heat 2 tbsp oil in a skillet over medium heat. Scoop 1/4-cup mounds of the mixture, press them to 1/4 inch thick, and fry in batches for 4 to 5 minutes on the first side and 3 to 4 minutes on the second side until deep golden.
  4. Blot briefly on paper towels, then serve immediately with a pinch of flaky salt.

Notes

For the best texture, let the shredded sweet potato sit in the towel for a minute after squeezing so any remaining moisture gets absorbed. If your patties feel delicate, pop the bowl of seasoned shreds in the fridge for 10 minutes before frying to help them firm up.
