A delightful twist on the classic sweet potato patties, these savory cakes are perfect for any meal.
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl.
Grating the sweet potatoes ensures they cook evenly and blend well with the rice.
Finely chop the onion and add it to the bowl with the grated sweet potatoes.
Use a small onion for a milder flavor or adjust to your taste.
Add the cooked brown rice, sea salt, and black pepper to the bowl and mix thoroughly.
Ensure the rice is cool to the touch for easier mixing and better consistency.
Gradually mix in the flour until the mixture holds together when pressed.
Add the flour slowly to avoid over-drying the mixture.
Form the mixture into small patties, pressing firmly to shape them.
Keep your hands slightly damp to prevent sticking while shaping the patties.
Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the oil is hot enough to sizzle when the patties are added.
Cook the patties in the skillet for 5-7 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
Serve the patties warm with your choice of garnish or side dish.
Pair with a fresh salad or a tangy dipping sauce for a complete meal.
