Kumera and Tuna Patties image

An old family favourite. You can add cilantro instead of the parsley if you wish or add more curry powder or use a curry paste instead. Add some finely diced chilli or ground chilli flakes if you wish. For a gluten-free version be sure that all ingredients used are gluten-free. Cooking time does not include the 30 minutes refrigeration time required

These patties are a great way to sneak some vegetables into your kids' diet. My kids love them, and they don't even realize they're eating sweet potato.

I made these patties with canned tuna, and they turned out great! I think they would be even better with fresh tuna, but canned tuna is a good option if you're in a hurry.

These patties are a great way to use up leftover mashed sweet potato. I always have some leftover after Thanksgiving, and this is a great way to use it up.

I'm not a big fan of sweet potato, but I really enjoyed these patties. The tuna and spices balanced out the sweetness of the potato perfectly.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my patties fell apart when I tried to flip them. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

These patties were a bit bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.

I wasn't sure how I'd like the combination of sweet potato and tuna, but I was pleasantly surprised. These patties were flavorful and moist, and the sweet potato gave them a nice sweetness.
