Ingredients

  • 5 cups peeled and shredded sweet potato (from 2 medium)

  • ¼ cup finely chopped shallot

  • 1 medium clove garlic, grated

  • 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, divided

  • ½ teaspoon salt

  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper

Directions

  1. Combine sweet potato, shallot, garlic, 1 tablespoon oil, salt and pepper in a large bowl.

  2. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Form three 1/2-cup sweet potato patties in the pan, flattening them with a spatula. Cook the patties, turning once and lowering heat to medium if the pan gets too hot, until nicely browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Transfer to a baking sheet and cover to keep warm (or keep in a 200 degrees F oven). Repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon oil and the remaining sweet potato mixture.

Nutrition information is calculated by a registered dietitian using an ingredient database but should be considered an estimate.

* Daily Values (DVs) are the recommended amounts of nutrients to consume each day. Percent Daily Value (%DV) found on nutrition labels tells you how much a serving of a particular food or recipe contributes to each of those total recommended amounts. Per the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the daily value is based on a standard 2,000 calorie diet. Depending on your calorie needs or if you have a health condition, you may need more or less of particular nutrients. (For example, it’s recommended that people following a heart-healthy diet eat less sodium on a daily basis compared to those following a standard diet.)
