The other great thing about patties is that that are yummy served either hot or cold. So are a great food for lunch boxes or picnics.

I’ve made a batch of these several times and they have gone quickly when shared among friends.

The sweet potato and tuna  is a match made in heaven, against the little specks of red onion and bell pepper.

I like to serve these with a salad and a homemade yoghurt dip or even salsa. They would be great with some mayo too for a few syns if you have some spare.

  1. My husband made these patties as a starter for a slimming world friendly 3 course meal and they are lovely, so much so, I made them for a group taster evening and they went down very well.

  2. Do you think these would work if I substituted butternut squash for the sweet potato, or would that be too wet? Thanks!

  3. Hi Fran, I am not sure they would hold together with butternut squash. They would like fall apart when trying to lift from the tray.

  4. Is 280g the total weight for tuna or is it two tins at 280g which would be 560g
    Sorry for asking this it’s just my mixture seems a bit too wet and thought maybe I hadn’t put in enough tuna
    Hope this doesn’t offend
    Thank you
    Janet

  7. Hi Holly – yes they are perfect for freezing either before cooking or after.

  8. Hi there, these sound lovely, I’m not keen on sweet potato so could I make these with ordinary white potato???

  9. Hi Belinda – I am sure it would work fine with regular potato. Let me know how it goes.

  10. I made these for my taster night and they went down so well such an easy recipe to follow I’ll definitely be making these again x

  11. Made these tonight for tea with some trepidation
    as I wasnt sure if I would like them but no worries
    They tasted delicious and I had them with salad and a little bit of sweet chilli sauce!

  12. These are amazing! I’ve made them several times now. They are easy to make and keep well. Perfect for lunch boxes or snacking. I have to stop myself eating them all at once.

  13. Thanks for commenting Lucy – my favourite way to enjoy these is with a salad or on the side of some soup.

  15. Hi Laura, it gives the amount in the recipe box. This mix for me made 8 patties, but it really depends on what size you choose to make them from the mix. Hope that helps.

  16. I made this but my batch was wet, I added some flax meal to help bind and they are perfect. I love them! I was able to make about 10 patties. This was a meal prep score!! Thanks.

  17. I made these tonight and they were amazing. Really filling. Can definitely experiment with other herbs and spices.

  18. I used two tins of tuna, no zucchini (none in the cupboard) and coriander … the mixture was runny because of the two tins (seen that I only need one from now on) but, I made the patties and they are a complete lifesaver…so tasty. If I’m out and about I just put some speedy green salad in a tupperware, a bit of thai bean salad sprayed with lemon juice and salt and pepper, pop in a couple of these and I’m good to go. Ive never left a food review before … but this is well deserved,
