Sweet Potato Croquettes

Directions

1. Wash hands with soap and water.

2. Rinse fresh produce.

3. In a large saucepan over medium heat, add sweet potatoes, garlic and enough water to cover by an inch. Season with salt and bring to a gentle boil.

5. Remove from refrigerator and shape mixture into 16 patties.

6. Generously coat a large skillet with cooking spray and place over medium heat.

7. Add 4 patties and cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side or until crisp and golden brown; repeat with remaining patties. Serve hot.
