You will find various pattie recipe amongst the world wide web.
Hey you will even find quite a few on here already – Various Other Delicious Patties
So why oh why may you ask, are you posting another one?
Well patties are a favorite of mine. You can literally mix a few ingredients together with something to bind, form them into a shape of your desire and viola, delightful morsels of yumminess.
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.

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.
Do you think these would work if I substituted butternut squash for the sweet potato, or would that be too wet? Thanks!
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.
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
Could these be frozen at all? Either before being cooked or after they have cooled?
Hi Janet – it’s 280g in total of tuna, hope that helps 🙂
Hi Holly – yes they are perfect for freezing either before cooking or after.
Hi there, these sound lovely, I’m not keen on sweet potato so could I make these with ordinary white potato???
Hi Belinda – I am sure it would work fine with regular potato. Let me know how it goes.
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
