1 large sweet potato or yam, peeled and grated
2 jalapeno peppers, stemmed, seeded and finely minced
3 green onions, finely chopped
1/3 cup flour
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
2 eggs beaten
1/4 cup Oil for frying

Mix all ingredients except oil.

Put two tablespoons of oil in heavy skillet over medium heat. When hot, drop batter by scant 1/4 cups full onto hot oil. Press with spoon to flatten into a round cake about 3 inches wide. Cook until golden brown, turning once or twice. Cook in batches and drain on paper towels. Add more oil as needed to prevent sticking.
