Steps
Prepare Sweet Potatoes
Peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into larger cubes, then boil them in salted water until tender (about 15-20 minutes). Drain and let them cool slightly.
Prepare Base
While the sweet potatoes are cooking, finely chop the red onion and garlic. Heat a little olive oil in a pan and sauté the onion and garlic over medium heat until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
Make Patty Mixture
Mash the sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher. Add the sautéed onion and garlic, egg, breadcrumbs, paprika, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix thoroughly until you get a homogeneous mixture. If it's too soft, add a little more breadcrumbs.
Fry Patties
Form the mixture into about 8-10 patties. Heat 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil in a pan over medium heat. Fry the patties on both sides until golden brown and crispy, about 4-5 minutes per side.
Make Parsley Sauce
While the patties are frying, prepare the sauce. Finely chop the fresh parsley. Mix it with the Greek yogurt, lemon juice, one clove of minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed.
Serve
Serve the warm sweet potato patties with the fresh parsley sauce. They pair wonderfully with a light salad or steamed vegetables.
Extra Tips
► If you prefer, you can use gluten-free flour or rolled oats instead of breadcrumbs for the patties.
► For a spicier kick, add a pinch of chili flakes to the sauce.
► Serve with a fresh salad or steamed vegetables for a complete and wholesome meal.
