I liked these a lot. Tasty and easy. My husband only seemed to think they were ok, though.

I boiled the sweet potato (don't have a microwave), mixed all but eggs together and then added eggs. I added a touch of paprika for spice, then I refrigerated the mix for 45 minutes before frying. It was a little on the dry side, but overall tasty.

My husband and I give it 5 stars. Between all four of my kids there was a mix of 3-5 stars-pretty good. These were delicious and can't beat the nutrients. Very different recipe for me in south of the US. We are used to salmon patties, but never have had tuna. I added onions and a little less parsley. Very easy dinner. Thanks for sharing!

For the DM to eat a full pattie (I made 6 out of the recipe) and looking for another and demanding if there were any left over she was having them for lunch tomorrow, I now I am on a winner for her. The DS gobbled his two down and I was battling to eat 1 with salads (coleslaw and green) and herbal bread. Would suggest maybe adding everything but the eggs first and mix well and then add eggs one at a time as I found the 2 60g eggs may have been a bit too much and the mix was a bit too wet and made it very fragile to cook (broke up easily, had to be very careful in turning) and for personal taste I would like to sub finely sliced spring onions (scallions) for the parsley in future. Thank you Stardustannie for a keeper which will keep the DM happy. Made for Recipe swap #10 - November 2007.
