Sweet potato patties made from 4 ingredients

Ingredients

For 6 smaller patties:

• 1 large sweet potato (approx. 300 g), finely grated
• 50 g grated cheese (Edam, Gouda, Cheddar, etc.)
• 2 eggs
• salt and pepper
• optional: dried oregano or dried garlic

Marinade for meat (for approx. 400-500 g):

• 1–1½ teaspoons fajita seasoning
• ½–1 teaspoon smoked paprika (to taste)
• juice from ½ lime
• 1–2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 small clove of garlic (optional, finely chopped)
• salt just before baking (or not at all, if the fajita seasoning is salty)

To complete:

• mixed leaf salad
• hot sauce or salsa
• avocado slices
• yogurt dip (yogurt + salt + lemon/lime + pepper + garlic)

Method

1. Finely grate the sweet potato. If it releases a lot of water, squeeze it lightly so that the mixture is not too runny.
2. Add grated cheese, eggs, salt, pepper, and dried oregano or garlic, if desired. Mix everything thoroughly—you will end up with a thick, cohesive mixture.
3. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Form small patties from the mixture and flatten them slightly.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C for approximately 20–25 minutes. Turn the flatbreads halfway through baking so that they are golden brown on both sides.
5. Brown the meat in a pan until golden brown and cut into smaller pieces. Feel free to prepare a larger quantity – it can also be used in salads or again in pancakes.
6. To assemble, use salsa or hot sauce, fresh salad, avocado, meat, and yogurt dip or whipped feta cheese, according to taste.
