Best 6 Crispy Sweet Potato Cakes Recipes

CRISPY POTATO HORSERADISH CAKES

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the onion and potato. Dust with the flour and mix to disperse it. Add the eggs, horseradish, lemon zest, fresh dill, salt, and pepper, and mix until well combined.
• In a large non-stick saute pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat. Once the bubbles from the butter subside, spoon 3 heaping tablespoons of the potato mixture into the saute pan. Repeat, making 8 to 12 pancakes. Cook pancakes about 4 minutes on each side, assuring that both sides are well browned and the potato is cooked through. Reduce the heat of the pan if the potato cakes are browning too quickly in order to make sure the inside is cooked completely. Remove the cakes to a paper towel lined plate as they finish, and season with salt while hot. You can cover them with foil and keep in a 200 degrees F oven to stay warm until ready to serve.
• To serve, transfer potato cakes to a platter and dollop each one with creme fraiche. Top with a sprig of dill.

CRISPY POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Heat the oil and butter over medium heat in a nonstick 10-inch skillet. Once the butter is melted, sprinkle the grated potatoes into the pan in an even layer and, using a spatula, gently press them into the pan. Season with about half of the salt and pepper and let the potatoes cook without shaking or stirring the pan, until they're crisp and browned on the bottom, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Slide the potato cake onto a large plate and invert it onto another plate. Slide the potato cake back into the pan, browned side up, and season the top with the remaining salt and pepper. Continue to cook until the underside is nicely browned and the potato cake is cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes longer.
• Slide the potato cake onto a cutting board. Cut into wedges, sprinkle with parsley, and serve.

CRISPY POTATO CAKE

Steps:

• Clarify the butter: Melt the butter in a small saucepan and bring it to a gentle simmer.
• Shut off the heat and allow it to sit a minute on the stove. The milk solids should start to sink to the bottom. Slowly pour the butter into a bowl, keeping as much of the white milky liquid as possible in the saucepan. Discard the milk solids. These are prone to burning and by clarifying the butter, the potato cake will be less likely to overbrown. Keep the butter warm on the stove.
• Prepare the potatoes: Using a mandoline slicer or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin 1/8-inch-thick slices. Transfer them to a bowl, sprinkle with a pinch of salt and black pepper, cover with all but 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and toss to coat.
• Pour the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in the bottom of an 8-inch nonstick skillet and swirl it around to coat the bottom and sides. Add the thyme and a pinch of salt. It will start to crackle a little. Cook until it is no longer crackling, about 5 minutes, then remove the thyme from the butter and let cool slightly, about 1 minute. Strip half of the thyme leaves from the stems into the bowl with the potatoes.
• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Assemble: Remember that the bottom layer will be the top when you unmold this cake so it should be done with extra care. Beginning in the center of the skillet, layer the potatoes in an overlapping circle following the edge of the skillet. Continue with the remaining potatoes, switching the direction and adding some salt and add a few spoonfuls of the potato liquid in between each layer. Gently press down on the potatoes as you're layering to make sure they stick together and form a cake. Pour any remaining potato liquid on top.
• Cook: Place the skillet on high heat and cook until the water starts to release itself from the potatoes and you can see the edges browning, 10 to 12 minutes. Place the skillet on a baking sheet, transfer the baking sheet to the oven and cook, undisturbed, for 15 minutes.
• Remove the baking sheet from the oven and carefully pour off any excess butter from the skillet into a bowl; save. Carefully line the hot baking sheet with parchment paper, then flip the skillet onto the sheet in one deft motion. Lift off the skillet and pour the reserved butter over the cake. Return the baking sheet to the oven to cook until the top of the cake is golden brown and crispy and the potatoes feel completely tender in the center when pierced with the tip of a knife, about 15 minutes.
• Serve: Carefully transfer the cake to a cutting board, season with salt and cut into wedges like a pie. Serve with roe or creme fraiche if desired.

CRISPY SWEET POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Mash the sweet potatoes in a bowl and then add the chickpea flour, garam masala, ginger, salt, cilantro, and yogurt. Mix well and then form into small patties about 2-inches in diameter.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat and cook the patties in batches so they have plenty of room to fry. Cook for about 2 minutes on each side, or until they are golden and crispy and cooked through.
• Place the juice, onion, cilantro, chat masala, and salt in a food processor and process to a paste. Add the mango and pulse until the chunks are coarsely chopped. Chill until ready to serve.

CRISPY MASHED POTATO CAKES

Steps:

• Peel and dice potatoes and add to a large pot. Cover with water and salt the water. Bring to boil over medium heat, and cook until tender. Drain the potatoes and return to hot pot to dry. Transfer potatoes to a bowl. Soften cream cheese in a microwavable bowl and microwave the cream cheese for 20 seconds on high. Add to the potatoes along with sour cream, scallions, zest, egg, salt and pepper, to taste. Mash potatoes to combine mixture.
• Heat the oil and butter in nonstick skillet over medium heat. Drop 2-inch mounds of potatoes into skillet and gently press down to flatten a bit. Crisp potatoes until deeply golden on each side, about 7 to 8 minutes total. Mixture makes 8 golden cakes.

SWEET POTATO ROLL CAKE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spray a 10-by-15-inch jelly roll pan with cooking spray then line with parchment paper. Using a food safe marker, write the word "Grateful" directly in the center, widthwise, of the parchment. Flip the parchment over so that you can see the word, but it will be backwards.
• Make the cake: Process the sweet potato in a food processor until very smooth. Transfer to a small bowl and set aside.
• Whisk together the baking powder, cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg, 1 cup flour and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl.
• Add the granulated sugar and eggs to a large bowl and beat with an electric mixer on medium-high until the eggs are very light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add the sweet potato, bourbon and lemon extract and mix to combine. Fold in the flour mixture with a rubber spatula until just combined.
• Remove 1/4 cup of the batter to a medium bowl and stir in the molasses, gel food coloring and the remaining 3 tablespoons flour until smooth. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a small round tip and trace "Grateful" on the parchment with the batter. Freeze the pan until the batter is hardened, about 10 minutes (alternatively, refrigerate for 20 minutes).
• Quickly spread the batter in the bowl over the traced word and bake until the cake springs back when touched and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, 14 to 16 minutes.
• Lay a clean tea towel on a flat work surface and lightly dust with confectioners' sugar. Carefully flip the cake out onto a wire rack and remove the parchment. Flip the cake back over onto the towel so that the word is facing down. Starting at the short end, roll the cake up with the towel and let cool completely on a wire rack (still wrapped in the towel), about 1 hour.
• Meanwhile, make the frosting: Beat the cream cheese, butter and orange zest in a medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Reduce the speed to low, then slowly mix in the confectioners' sugar until smooth and combined. Add the bourbon just to combine.
• Whip the heavy cream in a separate medium bowl with an electric mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold into the cream cheese mixture until just combined.
• Unroll the cake from the towel and, with the word-side down, spread the frosting over the top of the cake. Roll the cake back up, without the towel, and trim the ends so they are clean. Transfer the cake to a serving platter with the seam-side down. Decorate the platter with autumn sprinkles, if desired.
