This was the result of another failed attempt at making sweet potato chips. One day I shall figure it out, but during this time, I didn't have the patience. I kept burning small batches and I finally gave up. I still had a pile of thinly sliced pieces of sweet potato. So I chopped them into sizable pieces and piled them all in a bowl. Mixed in an egg, some flour and some green onion. and baked them in the oven. Yummy deliciousness of a nearly wasted veggie.
Makes 6-8 cakes
Sweet Potato Cakes
2 small sweet potatoes - peeled
1 green onion - chopped
1 egg
2-3 Tbsp all purpose Flour
Preheat your oven to 350˚F
Thinly slice the sweet potatoes, then give them a rough chop. Place the pieces in a large bowl. Add the egg, flour and green onion and mix together thoroughly. Season with a little salt and pepper.
Place large spoonfuls of the mixture into 6-8 bundles on a foil lined lightly greased baking pan. Baked for 25-30 minutes.
Serve with your choice of sweet and sour sauce, ponzu, or soy sauce.
What lovely and crispy edges they have, how delish!
ReplyDeleteThis looks great. I love sweet potatoes....It is very unique. But you always seem to come up with creative dishes.
ReplyDeleteGreat save! The great thing about these SP cakes rather than chips is that they look like you can pile toppings on them, as well as dipping. I'll take sweet potatoes any way you care to make them!
ReplyDeleteIt looks delicious to me, nice and crispy. I will have to try making them. Thanks!

ReplyDeleteI was just thinking about making sweet potato bread today. Hmmm, this look pretty tempting Jenn!
ReplyDeleteEven your failed attempts are always creative and somehow you manage to salvage them and make them not only edible, but beautiful.
ReplyDeleteWarning: If you try Marmite, spread it VERY thinly. It is quite salty and is an acquired taste for most. Let me know if you try it!
These look great! Almost better than chips :)
ReplyDeleteAwesome. Just awesome.
ReplyDeleteyum they look great thanks for the recipe
ReplyDeleteI love sweet potato chips or fries. Since they have high content of sugar, it makes sense why they burn so easily. Thanks for the recipe.

ReplyDeleteWhat a tasty appetizer. I am loving these sweet potato cakes.
ReplyDeletewait i'm lost. what were you trying to make? a cake like a fritter type? and they weren't holding? or were you trying to make chips?
ReplyDeletedawn: I was trying to make SP chips at first, but it kept burning no matter how long I kept them in. So I just mixed them up into a batter and made then into a fritter-like cake.
ReplyDeleteingenuity wins the day! GREG
ReplyDeleteOh wow, the sweet potato cakes look so beautiful! I'm sure they are so healthy, too!
ReplyDeleteI love that the potatoes are in pieces instead of just smashed or shredded. These look yummy! So rustic looking.

ReplyDeleteThis will not have effect in fact, that's exactly what I suppose.
