Tips:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm and unblemished sweet potatoes with smooth skin. Avoid any that are soft or have bruises or cuts.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes thoroughly: This will help them to hold their shape and prevent them from falling apart when you form them into patties.
  • Use a food processor or blender to grate the sweet potatoes: This will give you a smooth and even texture.
  • Add flavorings and seasonings to the sweet potato mixture: This could include anything from herbs and spices to grated vegetables or cheese.
  • Form the sweet potato mixture into patties: Use your hands or a spoon to shape the mixture into evenly sized patties.
  • Cook the patties until they are golden brown and crispy: You can pan-fry, bake, or air fry the patties.
  • Serve the patties with your favorite dipping sauce: This could be anything from ketchup to guacamole to tzatziki sauce.
