Sweet potato cakes

Okay so I was a little nervous about these not sure if I would like them to much but I was pleasantly surprised by how good they were. My hand got pretty tired with grating all the sweet potatoes but I survived.

What you will need

2 sweet potatoes
2 green onions finely chopped

1/2 cup egg whites Approximately 4 eggs worth
1 cup Parmesan

1 tsp Cajun/creole seasoning
1/2 tsp rosemary
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/4 tsp pepper


Dipping sauce
Reserves sweet potato juice
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 tsp Cajun/creole seasoning
1 teaspoon lime juice
Rosemary sprinkled on top as garnish

Preheat oven to 450 degrees Fahrenheit
Spray cookie sheet with cooking spray





Peal sweet potatoes 


Shred sweet potatoes using grater.  Squeeze out all the juice from the sweet potatoes reserve for the dipping sauce.  I had about a quarter of a cup or so.


finely chop 2 green onions I know I only have 1 pictured but use 2 trust me.


Add green onion, egg whites, parmesan cheese, cajun seasoning, rosemary, garlic powder and black pepper.


Mix mixture well.  Form into small very thin patties and place on cookie sheet.  Cook approximately 30 min flipping half way.  They will get crispy.


Take reserved sweet potato juice mix in sour cream, cajun seasoning, and lime juice.  Sprinkle with rosemary and enjoy!
