An easy recipe for very flavorful mashed sweet potato cakes, seasoned with curry powder. Made with almond flour, they are paleo and gluten free.
Very flavorful mashed sweet potato cakes are seasoned with curry powder, giving them a complex, Indian-inspired flavor and warmth.
Rather than adding white flour to the mixture, I use almond flour, keeping these cakes paleo and gluten free.
I also bake these sweet potato cakes instead of frying, not so much for health reasons (frying with healthy oils is fine), but simply because baking is so much easier!
MY LATEST VIDEOSTo make things even easier and super fast, I microwave the sweet potato rather than baking.
The recipe makes 6 sweet potato cakes and can easily be doubled. Leftovers keep well in the fridge for 3-4 days. Gently reheat them in the microwave, or simply eat them cpld as I often do! They are very tasty when topped with sour cream.
