Best Potato Cake Recipe - Sweet Potato Hash Browns

Shred the sweet potatoes using a box grater until you have a bowl of sweet potato strings.

Slice the onion into thin slices and add to the bowl with the sweet potatoes.

Add thin slices of jalapeno pepper to the mixture (optional).

Mix the sweet potato, onion, and jalapeno together in the bowl.

Add about 2 tablespoons of rice flour to the mixture and mix until the flour coats the sweet potato strings.

Crack 2 large eggs into a bowl and beat them before adding to the sweet potato mixture.

Season the mixture with salt, pepper, and curry powder (optional).

Add chipotle powder for additional heat and flavor (optional).

Heat a skillet on medium-high heat and add a generous amount of cooking oil.

Spoon the sweet potato mixture onto the skillet, forming cakes. Do not crowd the pan.

Flatten each cake slightly and let them cook for about 3 minutes on one side until they have a nice cooked edge.

Reduce the heat to medium after 3 minutes to prevent burning.

Carefully turn each cake over and cook for another 3 minutes on the other side until dark and cooked through.

Remove the cakes from the skillet and let them drain on a paper towel.

Repeat the process for the second batch of cakes, smashing any that fall apart back together.
