Notes

Of course this all depends on the size of your sweet potato but this is a very forgiving recipe so if the completed mix is a bit thick as you've added too much flour add a little milk to thin it down, if it's too runny as your egg was really big add a smidge more flour.
My picture shows 5 but that's because I was the only one eating these as my hubby is not a sweet potato lover, I served what I needed and the others went in the fridge for lunch the next day.
I've used wholemeal flour, white flour and besan (chickpea flour) so this would I think would be ok with gluten free as well.
Mix sour cream or greek yoghurt with fresh chopped herbs for serving.
Add other vegies like cauliflower or broccoli or ..... and make this recipe your own.
