Sweet Potato Patties
Patties:
2.75 lbs. (44 oz.) sweet potatoes (peeled and cubed)
1 cup flour (I use quinoa flour)
1 tbsp. Tamari sauce
Salt
Pepper
Coconut oil or butter for frying
Sauce:
½ cup sour cream
½ cup European style yogurt (full fat)
4 stalks of green onion (finely chopped)
1 tsp. mustard
½ lemon (just the juice)
Salt
Pepper

-
Steam the peeled and cubed sweet potatoes until soft, about 40 min.
-
Cool down and drain excess water.
-
While sweet potatoes are cooling down, make the sauce.
-
Mix all sauce ingredients together and keep chilled.
-
Once sweet potatoes have cooled down, mash and add flour, Tamari, salt and pepper. Mix well until smooth. You can mix using a hand or a stand mixer.
-
Preheat oil or butter (or mix both) in a pan.
-
Place a patty mix in the hot pan. Use a 2-spoons method - one to gather the mix and one to scrape it off into the pan.
-
Cook on medium heat until both sides are golden brown and patties are formed.
-
Serve with the sauce on top or on the side, with a salad or as a side dish.

An old-time favorite of mine, based on a recipe from an iconic restaurant in Israel – “Orna and Ella” (different Ella). Recently, this restaurant has closed and I must say I was grieving for this end of an era.
I made some tweaks to support my gluten-free, sugar-free, and unprocessed foods lifestyle.
The sauce is what makes this dish magic and not to be missed.
This will be a great twist for a traditional Thanksgiving meal or nice fall harvest dinner.
