Time 35m

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 cups peeled and grated sweet potatoes
1/2 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon chipotle chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 cup whole milk
1 large egg, lightly beaten
Olive oil for frying
Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce, recipe follows
Chopped fresh cilantro leaves, for garnish
1 (8-ounce) container sour cream
1/2 cup minced fresh cilantro leaves
1 lime, zested and juiced
Pinch salt

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine the sweet potatoes, jalapeno, flour, baking powder, salt, chili powder, cumin, and black pepper.
  • In a small bowl lightly beat the milk and egg until well mixed. Add to the sweet potato mixture, stirring, until all the ingredients are well combined.
  • Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add enough vegetable oil to cover bottom of skillet. Drop the sweet potato mixture, by rounded teaspoonfuls, into the hot oil. Press lightly to flatten the mixture to the size of a half dollar. Cook until the cakes are golden brown, about 1 to 2 minutes on each side. Transfer the cakes to a serving platter. Top each cake with a small amount of Cilantro Lime Cream Sauce and garnish with fresh cilantro.
  • In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, cilantro, lime zest, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.

These cakes were a bit too crumbly for my taste. I think I'll try using a different type of flour next time.

The cakes were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I was able to tone it down by adding some sour cream to the sauce.

I'm not a big fan of cilantro, so I substituted parsley in the sauce. It was still delicious!

I love how these chili cakes are a healthier alternative to traditional fried potato cakes. They're still crispy and delicious, but they're also packed with nutrients.
