for 2 people, get about 350g of sweet potato
shove it in the microwave for 8-10 minutes (in the skin) until soft. leave to cool a bit and peel.
mash with about a tsp of ground coriander, 1/2 tsp of ground cumin, loads of crushed garlic, juice of about a quarter of a lemon, 50g of flour and some salt and pepper.
make into 10 balls and bake in the oven for half an hour.

the lemon juice and spices counter the sweetness nicely, but I had it in a pitta with lettuce, red onion and red pepper humous.

pickles and tzasiki would normally be in there, or olives, but I didn't have any.

Nice, I'm going to try that
Do you still get crispy bits from not frying it.

you could fry them
If you grease the baking tray they do crisp up some though

I guess if you make them into flat patties rather than balls you'd get more crispiness where it touches the tray
