Fish Cakes made with Sweet Potato

Fish Cakes made with Sweet Potato

These fish cakes are just fabulous. Made with sweet potato instead of potatoes and it is the perfect meal to hide those veggies in the fish cakes giving your kids no clue that they were even in there.It is easy to put together and delivers on flavour too and it is homemade, so you know exactly what goes in there.

All you need to make these are a few ingredients which include fish, sweet potatoes, a few spices, some onions and the ingredients for the perfect crumb. So let us get started shall we.

I seasoned the hake fish fillets which I quickly flash fried and set aside. To that I added the rest of the ingredients, got the crumbing ingredients ready and got on with fish cake making. I opted to make the fish cakes larger than usual and it was perfect as a single serving alongside some minty peas and potato wedges from McCain (linked).

When you try these fish cakes and I hope you do soon, it will take you one bite to see what I mean by delicious homemade fish cakes. If you are a fish or seafood lover, then click here for my Masala Fried Fish recipe or Mackerel Fillets with Basil Pesto or this yummy Fillet of Fish Burger.
