BACON SWEET POTATO CAKES


INGREDIENTS
1 Medium Head Cauliflower
1 Medium Sweet Potato - Grated
5 Slices Thick Cut Bacon – Cooked, and Crumbled
2/3 Cup Almond Flour
¼ Cup Green Onions – Chopped
2 Large Eggs
2 Cloves Garlic – Minced
1 tsp. Sea Salt
½ tsp. Black Pepper
(2 Tbs. Peace and Love)

DIRECTIONS
Grate cauliflower or pulse in a food processor until it resembles rice. In a covered, microwave safe bowl, microwave cauliflower for 5 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine cauliflower, sweet potato, bacon, almond flour, green onions, eggs, garlic, salt and pepper. Mix until all ingredients are well incorporated.

Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet, over medium heat. Once hot, take a scoop of the sweet potato mixture, form it into a patty and put it in the pan. Using a spatula, flatten it out, being careful not to separate it. Cook a few at a time. You may need to add fresh oil in between batches. Cook until browned on both sides. About 3 minutes each side.

Preheat oven to 350° Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Finish the potato cakes in the oven. Bake for 20 minutes on middle rack.

    Hi - I'm always looking for good recipes, and this one sounds great. I'm not sure you figured the calories correctly, though. If you are frying these cakes in oil - the oil isn't listed in your ingredient list, and it adds alot of calories when you fry anything. So, hopefully, when I get a chance to make these, I will reconfigure these for the frying and maybe try just a wipe of oil in the pan to lightly brown them and then bake them? Just wondering?
