Tips:

- 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.
