(2018) Sweet Potato Green Onion Cakes

And finally a recipe from Southern Living. I’m seeing such pretty green onions at the markets that I’m looking for all kinds of ways to use them.

If yours was as big as mine, cut the potato into quarters before slicing. You want pieces that will fit in a muffin cup. Pretty individual servings. Fancy!
