Directions
Sweet Potato Cakes and Mojito Sauce, A lovely appetizer or side dish , Very unique! Very good! Goes great with a very spicy jerk pork roast Have made it several times for guests, and they cant stop commenting on how ggod it is!, Thanks for the great recipe Gay I made these a while back and served them as an appetizer they were extremely popular with our guests used orange sweet potato, (which I think you call yam in the States – we sometimes call it Kumara in Oz) but I think maybe the orange sweet potato was not the correct choice Was I supposed to use the small white sweet potatoes? Anyway it was still wonderful although as the orange ones are big I think it changed the consistency of the mixture, even though I didnt use the 3, because before and after baking they were quite soft and it was hard to keep their shape I will make them again and still use the orange sweet potato but I will use about 1/2 next time I would love to know what sweet potatoes you used Gay This recipe was a lovely change from the usual appetizers even if I did use the wrong ones 🙂
