Sweet Potato Pancakes

I adore Samosas, but since they are wrapped in wheat I can't eat 'em.  I managed to play around with sweet potatoes and came up with these Potato Pancakes that remind me enough of Samosas to scratch that culinary itch for me.

Sweet Potato Pancakes



  • 1 pound sweet potatoes, peeled
  • 1/2 cup almond flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 2 teaspoons curry powder
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • oil for frying
  1. Grate sweet potatoes and set aside in colander to drain some of the water from them
  2. Combine dry ingredients in a bowl 
  3. Add shredded sweet potatoes and mix very well
  4. add eggs and coconut milk and mix well again to make sure all potato is well coated
  5. Heat oil in frying pan over med high heat - temp is important, it needs to be hot enough to crisp the outside, but cool enough to cook through.  Sweet potatoes burn easier then standard potatoes.
  6. Pat potato mixture into thin cakes and drop into grease and fry until golden both sides
