½cupFlour
½teaspoonBaking powder

Directions

Set the oven at 375 degrees. Peel the potatoes and grate them using a flat rectangular grater with large square holes (I would use the large grate on the FP), directly into the mixing bowl. Grate the onion as well.

Beat in the eggs, 2 T of the oil, salt and pepper. Add the cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, brown sugar, flour and baking powder. Pour the remaining 1 T of oil into a 8x11 baking dish. Grease the entire pan with the oil. Pour the sweet potato into the prepared pan and bake in the preheated oven for 50 to 60 minutes or until nicely browned.

Remove from the oven, slice into serving-size pieces and cover with foil when ready to transport. Or serve immediately.
