Sweet potatoes are nutrient-rich, while frozen options save time and money.

Prepare fish fillets by removing skin and bones, then chop finely.

Peel and boil potatoes until tender, then mash and let cool.

Finely chop onion and garlic, then sauté in olive oil until translucent.

In a large bowl, combine fish, mashed potatoes, sautéed onion and garlic, egg, and herbs.

Mix well and season with salt, black pepper, and lemon juice.

Form the mixture into patties of desired size.

Coat each patty in flour, then dip in beaten egg, and finally roll in bread crumbs.

Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Fry the patties in batches until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Transfer cooked patties to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Serve warm with mustard or a side salad.
