   • Wash and peel the sweet potatoes. Cut them into chunks and boil or steam until tender. Drain and mash thoroughly in a large mixing bowl.

2. Mix Ingredients:

   • To the mashed sweet potatoes, add the egg and salt. Beat well until everything is evenly combined.

3. Adjust Consistency:

   • Assess the moisture content of the potato mixture. If it’s very wet, gradually add flour, one tablespoon at a time, until the mixture holds together well enough to form patties. Mix in the raisins gently.

4. Form and Cook the Patties:

   • Heat a fry pan or skillet over medium heat and grease it lightly with oil or cooking spray.
   • Drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture onto the hot pan, shaping them into patties with the back of the spoon. Ensure each patty is about 1/2 inch thick for even cooking.

5. Cook Until Golden Brown:

   • Cook the patties slowly on both sides until they are golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Adjust heat if necessary to prevent burning.

6. Serve Warm:

   • Once cooked, transfer the patties to a serving platter. Serve warm as a delightful side dish or a light main course.

Tips:

• Choosing Sweet Potatoes: Look for sweet potatoes that are firm and free of blemishes. This ensures a smooth texture when mashed.
• Flour Addition: Only add flour if necessary to bind the mixture. The goal is to keep the patties light and fluffy.
• Cooking Technique: Cooking these patties slowly ensures they cook through without burning, allowing the flavors to develop.

Conclusion:

These Sweet Potato – Raisin Patties are not only delicious but also packed with nutrients from sweet potatoes and the natural sweetness of raisins. They are a versatile dish suitable for various occasions throughout the year, whether you’re looking for a healthy snack, a side dish for a holiday meal, or a contribution to a potluck.
