My newest craze these days are Sweet Potatoes.So rich in texture, taste and a nicer and healthier alternative to Potatoes.Packed with nutrition, rich in fiber, vitamins and beta carotene, this is a wonder vegetable that you can incorporate into your family’s diet. Its a versatile vegetable, that can be used in many different ways right from cutlets,to a simple mash, casseroles or desserts.

I’d originally planned on making sweet potato mash for dinner.The idea of making these into patties popped in when I’d peeled them up and I instantly changed my plan.I opened up my spice cabinet and threw in some coriander and cumin to give it a kick.The result is a luscious healthy appetizer or snack that you can enjoy guilt free!

The patties taste best when the natural sugars in the sweet potato caramelizes and imparts an earthy slightly charred flavor!The ginger kicks in along with the spices and the corn starch works as a binder.Its rustic and delicious!!I have been making it ever since and I’m sure you will too!

Notes: For best results 
  • refrigerate the ready patties for about 20 minutes before you fry them

    Could the potato mixture be prepped and stored in the fridge for a day or two before pan frying?

    Thanks!!Sure they can be baked.Since they’re already cooked you also drizzle oil over them and grill them!But make sure to keep an eye since they could burn!
    Also use a parchment paper underneath to prevent from sticking.God luck 🙂

    Soni,I loved orange coloured sweet potatoes always but started loving it more when one of my friend adopted a yam breakfast and almost almost brought her blood pressure to normal. This is a fact and I mentioned about her in my Orange sweet Potato Chaat.
    Your tikkis are next on my list.
