Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes - baked, with skin (1 large, 1 small or two medium)4 T flax meal*1/4 rolled oats, finely ground in food processor*2 t cumin3 t garlic powder (or less to taste)1/4 t ground red pepper (more or less to taste)1 egg slightly beaten1/2 can black beans, rinsed well, drained well1 can diced green chilisPlain Greek yogurt for garnish (I use 0% fat)Chopped fresh cilantro for garnishOlive oil for skillet.* You can substitute some whole wheat flour for the oats/flax.
(Prep/cooking time does not including baking the sweet potato)
Mash or grate the potato (I use the skin, too) or coursely pulse it in a food processor. Mash in the ground oats, flax (or flour if you're using that instead), and spices. Add the egg and mix again.
Heat a skillet with a little olive oil. Drop the potato mix by spoonfuls onto skillet, press to spread a little and cook until the first side is well set, then flip.
Do not make the cakes too big or they will be difficult to flip. They are not like pancakes, but like hash browns and stay somewhat creamy/soft in the middle.
Meanwhile, mix the black beans and green chilis together and heat.
Spoon black bean mixture over cakes, top with yogurt and cilantro.
