I made these tonight. While the taste was great, they were just mush and didn't hold together as patties at all
Katie, I'm so sorry these didn't turn out quite right for you. I think I need to modify the recipe for folks to be less mushy. I'm glad they at least tasted great.
Made these last night. as they were a bit mushie, I added bread crumbs to the mixture and rolled them in breadcrumbs. Defenently a family favourite.
I added breadcrumbs too and an egg, it turned out great! Also, was out of sweet potato so I used canned pumpkin which made it very tasty.
Hi, any alternative to cooking the sweet potato in a microwave? I prefer microwaves for heating only. Also, any binding alternatives to bread crumbs for gluten free? I also cater for vegans! Thanks!
Have you never baked white potatoes? It's the same thing. You just put them on a tray so that the sugar from the sweet potato doesn't spill in the oven. Never use a microwave if you can help it.
Hi, you can use coconut four instead of bread crumbs.
I am going to try this recipe with red lentil instead.
Thank you!
We've never used coconut flour but we're sure it would work as a binder! Definitely let us know how it goes with lentils!
Hi trying these now can u freeze them
Yes, these are very freezable. We suggest freezing them on a sheet pan first and then putting them into a bag or container so that they don't stick.
These tasted great but were so mushy we had to use a knife and fork. I tried adding bread crumbs and it didn't really help.
So I added in Flaxseed (milled) to help bind them and that seemed to do the trick. They weren't mushy either - tried to make sure that any excess water was squeezed out when shaping the patties.....
Do NOT microwave things! It heats food to 2000 degrees, which renders them unrecognizable to the human body. It's okay to WAIT and have good food instead of quick poison. :/
