Really tasty. I think the method for cooking the sweet potatoes probably diluted the flavour of the curry paste, and might've been more complex than it needed to be. Maybe if I make these again I will make some changes and let you know. Thanks for posting.

I don't usually have much success with patty type food, so it was with some trepidation that I made these. But they worked a treat; kept their shape and had a lovely flavour. We enjoyed these as a vegetarian main course and it would be easy to make these vegan too.

I loved the flavor of the cakes and the simple easy sauce, The texture was a bit too soft still manageable in terms of holding together - I did drain the potatoes well after cooking , perhaps I cooked them too long before mashing them. They are a definate 4 leaning toward a 5 star Good luck in the contest

I wish I could give this recipe 4.5 stars! Yes, these sweet potato cakes are lovely and they were the star of my vegetarian cooking session I hosted. However, although we did drain the sweet potatoes well, we found it very difficult to shape the patties. We would add a little bit of flour to them next time. We absolutely loved the taste of them, though! The cornmeal made a nice crust! Yummy! However, we also missed the salt in the dip and we think the recipe should at least mention 'season to taste'. Good luck in the contest! I'll make these patties again!

I loved this! The potato cake is sweet but spicy and warm. The curry sour cream is spicy and cool. The combination is delightful. I think this is an excellent appetizer--it is more than a side dish and deserves to be enjoyed on its own. I did use Caribbean curry mix Femmes' Revenge Caribbean Curry Mix.

We had these sweet potato cakes for lunch. For us the flavors did not seem to work well with each other. The cakes fried up nicely and were pretty served with the curry sour cream.

I made these for my book club and everyone asked for the recipe. I personally did not use the sour cream, but those who did commented that it was a nice compliment to the flavor of the cakes. The only critisism I have of this recipe is that sweet potatoes come in a large range of sizes and I would prefer to see a measurement. Also, I had to cook them about 5-6 mins a side. But they were very good, and I will definatly make them again and again

I loved the taste in the patties and I am awarding 5 stars for them alone. They had a lovely creamy texture inside coated in a lightly crispy breading and the spices were well balanced. Very addictive! I found the curry sauce distracting & overpowering however. I think a chutney would be a better match. I will definitely be making these jewels again. Good luck in the contest!

These are wonderful! At first I did not think the curry paste would add much flavor since it is boiled along with the potatoes but it really does permeate the potatoes! I used a red curry paste that has tamarind as a base (it enhances the peppers). Loved the curry sour cream. I cooked them in too much oil the first time and the majority of them fell apart - next time - and there WILL be a next time - I will pay closer attention to the cooking instructions! Good Luck Chef!!!
