2 pounds sweet potatoes (about 3 large), peeled
Using the coarse grating disc of a food processor, grate the sweet potatoes. Transfer to a large bowl.
In a small bowl, whisk the eggs. Sprinkle the Cajun spice blend into the eggs and whisk. Mix in the cilantro.
Add egg mixture to the grated potatoes.
In a large skillet, heat the peanut oil until very hot but not smoking. If you are using a thermometer, get the oil to 375°F.
Add the sweet potato mixture 1/4 cup at a time. Fry until golden, flip and fry until golden on the other side. Drain on paper towels. Repeat until all the potatoes are used.
Serve with a dollop of sour cream.
