To toast the sweet potato patties on tava or skillet just toast them on hot tava after shaping. No need to dip in corn flour batter or roll over bread crumbs.

For making these patties in oven first of all shape all the patties. Heat oven at 180 C. Prepare a large baking sheet by greasing with few drops of oil. Place the shaped patties in single layer and bake for 10-12 minutes. Flip and bake for 5-7 more minutes or until golden and crispy.

Can You Freeze Sweet Potato Patties?

Yes, the shaped uncooked patties can be easily frozen and fried when needed. Store them in a freezer safe bix or zip lock bag. Just thaw them for 10-20 minutes before frying.

You can also freeze the fried patties and reheat when serving.
