These little sweet potato cakes are lightly fried making them crispy on the outside, soft and creamy on the inside. The caramelized onions pairs well with the sweet potato as does the sage. They're great just by themselves or you can form into large patties and eat them as a veggie burger. They would be great on rich brioche bread or if you're vegan, look for a similar soft bread without the butter and eggs. Potato roll? Mmmmm...
