Sweet Potato Buns (Paleo)(gluten free)

By Ssherahh

Ingredients

• Buns
• 1 large sweet potato (about 3 cups, shredded)
• 3 large eggs
• 1 teaspoon cumin
• 2-4 tablespoons coconut oil

Preparation

Step 1

Shred the sweet potato using either the shredding blade of a food processor or box grater. You will not need to peel them. Place in a medium bowl with the eggs and cumin. Stir thoroughly.

Heat a medium skillet (cast iron works great) over medium heat with 2 tablespoons of coconut oil until it shimmers.

Place a heaping 1/4 cup of sweet potato in a mound on the pan and flatten into a patty using a large spoon. Use the spoon to push in any stray edge pieces or they will overcook. Once the bottom begins to brown and it holds together when lifting with a spatula, flip over gently and brown the other side.

You will probably have to cook the sweet potato patties in two batches. If necessary, add additional oil before adding the second batch. You should be able to make 8 patties.
