What it is
These are pre-formed patties made from mashed sweet potatoes and yams, often seasoned with a blend of spices. They are designed for quick and easy preparation, offering a convenient way to enjoy the flavor and texture of sweet potatoes. The patties typically have a soft interior and can develop a pleasant crispness when cooked. They are a versatile side dish or component for various meals.

These patties are a convenient addition to many meals. They can be prepared quickly on the stovetop or in the oven.
- As a side dish

To prepare, you can pan-fry the patties in a lightly oiled skillet over medium heat until golden brown and heated through, usually a few minutes per side. Alternatively, they can be baked in a preheated oven on a baking sheet until warmed and slightly crisped. Ensure they are cooked thoroughly before serving. They are best served hot as a complement to main courses or as a standalone item.

How to keep the rest
Refrigerate any unused patties in their original packaging or an airtight container. They should be kept cold and consumed within a few days of opening. For longer storage, they can be frozen, ensuring they are well-wrapped to prevent freezer burn.
