This one really didn't work out for me. Maybe someone who has had good luck with it could quantify "large" sweet potatoes - how many cups grated, or how many ounces. My experience was that there wasn't nearly enough "gooey" to make patties. I fooled around with temperature and use of oil, but the best I could ever do with it was more like hash browns. There's also something the matter with the serving size - usually one potato is one or two servings, not five. And if you really do fry the patties, the nutrional information needs to account for that oil. The test is fine, more reminiscent of african influence than what I usually associate with Mexico, but the form needs some work.Reply
