Spicy Sweet Potato Cakes

 Ingredients:

2 lb. sweet potatoes, roasted, peeled, and mashed

2 cups panko

1⁄2 cup oat flour

1⁄3 cup roughly chopped cilantro, plus leaves for serving

4 scallions, roughly chopped

2 small red Thai chiles - minced

1 egg

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1⁄3 cup canola oil, plus more

Directions:

Mix potatoes, 1 cup panko, the oat flour, chopped cilantro, scallions, chilis, egg, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Heat oil in a 12" skillet over medium heat. Using oiled hands, divide potato mixture into eight 4-oz. patties about 1⁄2" thick; coat in remaining panko. Working in batches, fry, flipping once, until golden and crisp, 2–3 minutes. Drain on paper towels and season with salt and pepper; garnish with cilantro leaves.
