Curried Sweet Potato Cakes
Gluten-free! Adapted from "Greatest Ever Potato" by Paragon Publishing 2004. You can add green chili paste, or other hot ingredient to spice these up.
  • 2 large sweet potatoes (I used Japanese Sweet Potatoes, with the white flesh and red skin)
  • 3-4 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbs wheat free soy sauce
  • 1 tbs cumin
  • 1 tbs tumeric
  • 2 tbs paprika
  • pinch of salt
  • dash of pepper
  • amaranth flour
  • 2 tbs plus more garlic
  • vegetable oil for frying
  • sesame seeds for sprinkling on top
  • cilantro or parsley sprigs for decoration
In a food processor or using a grater, finely grate peeled and washed sweet potatoes. Add oil, garlic, spices and mix well. Heat oil in a pan, adding just a shallow layer of oil. Roll mixture into balls, coat in flour, and pat into flat pancakes about 1/3" thick. Place in oil over medium heat. Turn once, top with sesame seeds, and drain on towel. Use a nice soy-based sauce or a fruit chutney on your plate.
