Instructions

Pre-heat oven to 220C
Bake the sweet potatoes. Do this by cleaning them first then prick holes with a fork in them. Then place them directly on a shelf in your oven with a tray underneath to catch any drips. Bake until tender, about 45 to 50 minutes. Once cooked allow them to cool. Tear off the skin and put the potato into a mixing bowl.
Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until smooth.
Add cheese, onion, garlic, breadcrumbs, and egg to the mashed potato and mix well together.
Sir in the coriander and season to taste.
Gently heat 1 tablespoon of the vegetable oil in a non-stick frying pan
Form 4 sweet potato patties from the mixture with your hands and cook the patties for about 3 minutes on each side. Then add the remaining vegetable oil and do the same with the rest of the mixture to create 8 sweet potato cakes.
Serve with a green salad and some coleslaw like my cabbage and radish slaw.
