Ingredients

1 large sweet potato, scrubbed

1 large egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
1/8 teaspoon ground white pepper
Pinch of baking soda
2 tablespoons olive oil

Preparation

  1. Peel and grate the sweet potato into a large bowl. Toss with the lemon juice. Stir in the flour, egg, seasoned salt, white pepper, and baking soda.
