Ingredients

750g sweet potatoes, organic where possible, peeled

2 tbsp olive oil

1 small onion, sliced

1 garlic clove, crushed

2 eggs, beaten

100g organic cheese (optional) or carrots instead.

Method

Grate the sweet potatoes, coarsely and put in tea towel or paper towel to absorb any excess moisture.  Put the sweet potato in a mixing bowl.  Fry the onion and garlic with half the olive oil in a pan until the onion is soft and golden.  Add the onion to the sweet potatoes in the bowl.  Add the grated egg and half the cheese.  If you would rather not use cheese then cook some carrots in boiling water until almost soft, allow to cool and then grate the carrots and add to the potato mix.  Mix thoroughly.

 

Divide the mixture into four cakes and place on a well oiled baking tray and drizzle with the remaining olive oil.  Cook in a medium pre-heated oven for about 25 minutes or until golden brown.
