Fish Cake Ingredients

Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

    Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks and boil them in a pot of salted water until tender, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

  2. 2

    Mash the Sweet Potatoes

    In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes until smooth.

  3. 3

    Combine Ingredients

    Add the drained tuna, chopped green onions, egg, bread crumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix until well combined.

  4. 4

    Form the Cakes

    Shape the mixture into patties, about 3 inches in diameter, and place them on a plate.

  5. 5

    Cook the Fish Cakes

    Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the fish cakes in batches and cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown.

  6. 6

    Serve

    Remove the fish cakes from the skillet and place them on paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm.
