combine the garlic and your choice of cooking oil/butter in a medium sauté pan over low heat and poach the garlic until tender but not brown, adding the rosemary midway through the cooking process

meanwhile combine the sweet potato, egg, and fresh herbs in a medium bowl. Add the garlic and rosemary along with about a teaspoon of the oil from the pan. Mix thoroughly to make a batter.

In the same pan you poached the garlic in add the batter. I made two cakes but if I had to do it all over again I would make four smaller cakes instead. Cook over low/medium low heat until nicely browned and cooked through (about 4-5 minutes a side)

For a paleo power breakfast serve with a fried egg and hot sauce. These would also be delicious as a side with a bit of crème fresh.
