Cook the sweet potato with the skin on. I prefer to put it in the microwave for 10 minutes on medium power. Take it out of the microwave and let it cool. Once it is cool to the touch, take the peel off.
Mix all ingredients in a large mixing bowl and form 8-10 patties
Cook 2 patties at a time in coconut oil over medium heat. Flip them when the cooked side is golden brown.
Add more oil to the pan as needed and continue cooking patties until the mixture is completely cooked.
