Sweet Potato Cake Patties are a great way to enjoy sweet potatoes. These patties are lite and delicious, and easy to make. They are made with quinoa, nutritional yeast, and sweet potatoes, along with a delightful amount of spices. I also made a lemony tahini based dressing, and served these over a bed of artisan romaine lettuce.
