The ingredients are:

We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: In a bowl mash the yams (or sweet potatoes) and then add all the remaining ingredients (-eggs) and mix together.

  • Step 2: Using your hands form the mixture into 18 patties (1/2 inch thick x 2 1/2 inches in diameter) -- if mixture does not hold together add more bread crumbs.

  • Step 3: Spray a skillet with nonstick cooking spray and heat the pan over medium heat; add patties and cook, turning once for 5-10 minutes or until golden brown ---DO NOT OVERCROWD PAN--YOU MAY NEED TO COOK IN BATCHES (or use two skillets which is what I tend to do).

  • Step 4: Serve hot topped with spicy or mango butter (https://www.recipezazz.com/recipe/mango-butter-34530) or spicy sauce.
