Cooking Instructions
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

  3. In a mixing bowl, combine sweet potatoes, chopped onions, eggs, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
  4. Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place spoonfuls of the mixture, flattening into patties about 1/2 inch thick.
