Recipe: Sweet Potato Patties

I am constantly looking for new ways to cook old favorites.  Sweet potatoes happen to be Liam's favorite vegetable, but I get tired of cooking it the same way each week.  As I was thinking about tonight's menu, I thought I would give sweet potato patties a whirl.  After a little tweaking here and there, I came up with this recipe.  It's sure to be a show stopper if your little ones love sweet potatoes as much as mine!

Sweet Potato Patties
(This recipe makes a large amount of patties around 2 dozen.)

3 medium sweet potatoes
1 small onion
2 large eggs (beaten)
1 teaspoon of kosher salt
Canola oil for shallow frying

-  Peel the sweet potatoes and onion.  Grate the vegetables with a box grater.
-  Add the eggs and salt to the sweet potato and onion mixture.  Mix the ingredients together.
-  Add enough oil to a skillet to allow for shallow frying.  Heat the oil on medium heat.
-  Scoop the sweet potato mixture (about a heaping tablespoon for each patty) and place in the preheated pan.  Cook until golden brown on each side.  Repeat this step until all of the sweet potato mixture is cooked.
-  Serve the patties with sour cream or salted plain Greek yogurt.
