👩🍳 How to Make Sweet Potato Cakes
1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes
Peel and boil sweet potatoes until fork-tender (about 15–20 minutes). Drain and mash in a large bowl.
2. Mix the Batter
To the mashed sweet potatoes, add:
- Finely chopped onion
- Garlic
- Green onions or parsley
- Flour
- Egg
- Seasonings
Mix until everything is well combined. The mixture should be soft but hold its shape. If it feels too wet, add a little more flour.
