Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato
- 2 cans (5 oz each) canned tuna
- 1 large egg
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 stalks green onion
- 2 tablespoons parsley
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and cube the sweet potato, then boil it in a pot of water until fork-tender, about 10-12 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potato in a large mixing bowl. Let it cool slightly.
Step 2
Drain the canned tuna and add it to the bowl with the mashed sweet potato. Flake the tuna with a fork to break it apart.
Step 3
Add the egg, breadcrumbs, chopped green onion, chopped parsley, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to the bowl. Mix everything together until well combined.
Step 4
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions and shape each portion into a small patty about ½ inch thick.
Step 5
Heat the olive oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the patties in batches, making sure not to overcrowd the pan.
Step 6
Cook the patties for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and heated through.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked patties to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve the Sweet Potato Tuna Patties warm with a side of salad, yogurt dipping sauce, or your favorite condiments.
