sweet potato fritters

enough for 2
takes: 60 minutes
500g (1lb) sweet potato
100g (3.5oz) almond meal

1/4 tsp cinnamon

1 egg
6 tablespoons sour cream
chilli sauce
salad leaves, to serve

1. Preheat oven to 200C (400F). Roast whole sweet potato until tender. About 40 minutes.

2. Combine peeled sweet potato, almonds, cinnamon and egg in a large bowl. Season and using your hands form into 2 patties and place on a large plate.

3. Heat a pan on a medium heat. Add a little oil and carefully slide the burgers into the pan.

4. Cook for 3-5 minutes on each side, being super careful when you turn because the burgers do have a tendency to fall apart. Burgers are done when they’re a deep golden brown colour on both sides.

5. Serve burgers topped with sour cream, hot sauce (if using) and salad leaves on the side.
