Tuna and Sweet Potato (Kumera) Patties

Hi -made a double batch - added some finley minced onion as well as some dill and lemon zest - I also baked them to keep things as healthy as possble. These are delicious - they are in the freezer for a lazy summer meal or for a quick, easy and diffent lunch. Thanks for a great recipe!

These get a 5 star rating from me because my very picky 6 yo loved them. (He eats neither tuna nor veggies.) For my taste, they probably could have used a bit more kick. Still they were a nice and different way to serve tuna. I served them on buns. Next time I will do it with fries instead, as suggested.

Delicious! Both my LOs (2 and 1) ate these no complaint at all. I made them up and thought maybe I made too many but ended up being not enough, next time I will make more. We had no problem with the consistency or crumbling but we used about 1/2 of a sweet potato more than the recipe called for. A keeper for sure, thanks for sharing.

I liked these a lot. Tasty and easy. My husband only seemed to think they were ok, though.

I boiled the sweet potato (don't have a microwave), mixed all but eggs together and then added eggs. I added a touch of paprika for spice, then I refrigerated the mix for 45 minutes before frying. It was a little on the dry side, but overall tasty.

My husband and I give it 5 stars. Between all four of my kids there was a mix of 3-5 stars-pretty good. These were delicious and can't beat the nutrients. Very different recipe for me in south of the US. We are used to salmon patties, but never have had tuna. I added onions and a little less parsley. Very easy dinner. Thanks for sharing!

I really enjoyed this recipe. It is very easy to make and has a nice flavor. I felt so healthy eating it. I was even able to sneak some veggies into my kids without them knowing. They held together well and looked pretty when done. Thanks for a great recipe.

Pretty good! They were a bit crumbly for me so I'll add more bread crumbs next time and I'll add more seasonings too, but it was really fun to make a different kind of burger for the fam. I served my husband's with wasabi mayo and he said it was good. Thanks for posting!

For those in the US, here are the conversions: 3 small cans tuna (do they sell big ones?) 1/2 c dried breadcrumbs I personally halved the recipe, using 1 can tuna and half a sweet potato. They turned out great. I really wished I'd made fries with it, though.

Found this recipe while looking for something my 15 month old would eat (he LOVES sweet potato!) and DH ate 2, saying it was better than those salmon patties I have made in the past. Thanks Stardustannie for a recipe both my men enjoyed!

Followed this recipe exactly, and my whole family found the flavor very offputting.

I used Jamaican sweet potatoes which might have been my problem but I found this recipe very dry and without much flavor. Mine did stick together nicely.

Yum, yum! I reviewed this as part of the Kid Friendly Recipe of the Week & it was delicious! The patties are easy to make - I put mine in the fridge for about 10 minutes before cooking. we ate ours with homemade chips / fries & a big crunchy salad! 6 year old DS & 16 mont old DD loved these just as much as DH & I - Thanks for a great kid friendly meal!

Oh yum! I never would've thought to combine these flavours! I didn't have parsley, so I used a Tbsp or so of red curry paste ... delish! I served over lettuce leaves with a dressing made of yoghurt, mayo, lime, and sweet chilli sauce. Some fresh coriander would have been great. I also thought adding corn kernels would be very nice. Great use of some leftover baked sweet potatoes. Thanks, Stardustannie!

I thought these were good for a quick and cheap meal. I used a white sweet potato, as I could not find the orange kind, and it seemed to work out well. I also forgot the parsley, but did add some old bay seasoning. I used panko breadcrumbs which added a nice flavor. This is a good base, I think it needs a little tweaking to be outstanding, and will be making these again soon. Thanks for the recipe.

Absolutely gorgeous, I made this as a starter tonight to go with another very light fish dish I made. It complimented it to a tee, huge raves all round. I did make a homemade herb mayonaise to go with as canned tuna can be quite dry. I have to say although the mayonnaise was lovely, the patties by themselves were so moist and full of flavour, you really didn't need it. I did take the advise of chef potts and added some sring onions, I do love parsley so I did a tablespoon of parsley and a tablespoon of spring onions. I don't think it really matters as the main flavours that come through are of the tuna and sweet potato. My patties held together fine with the 2 eggs and I think you couldn't make it with less, but that could be just because eggs vary in weight. Huge thumbs up and I will definitely be making again and again, oh so yummy and oh so simple. Thanks for sharing
