This recipe called out for ginger. Other Jamacian sweet potato appetizer recipes that I saw did have ginger. Too many calories so I baked them as suggested but without brushing with oil. The mojito sauce was essential. Everyone said that they were good but there were a few left.

I loved these, and so did the people I served them to as an appetizer. I did bake them as suggested and really loved the sauce, it could go with fish or chicken too. They beat the Colonel's Mashies anyday.

Thanks for the great recipe Gay. I made these a while back and served them as an appetizer – they were extremely popular with our guests. I used orange sweet potato, (which I think you call yam in the States - we sometimes call it Kumara in Oz) but I think maybe the orange sweet potato was not the correct choice. Was I supposed to use the small white sweet potatoes? Anyway it was still wonderful although as the orange ones are big I think it changed the consistency of the mixture, even though I didn’t use the 3, because before and after baking they were quite soft and it was hard to keep their shape. I will make them again and still use the orange sweet potato but I will use about 1/2 next time. I would love to know what sweet potatoes you used Gay. This recipe was a lovely change from the usual appetizers even if I did use the wrong ones .
