Cut the sweet potato into cubes. You'll have about 2 cups. Add them to a steamer basket and steam for 5 - 7 minutes until the potatoes are fork-tender.

Allow the sweet potatoes to cool slightly, then transfer them to a bowl and mash them until (almost) smooth.

Add the rest of the ingredients into the mixing bowl and mix with a wooden spoon until everything is combined and a dough has formed.

Form the dough into 6 patties, place on a plate and set aside.

Heat the oil in a 10" skillet over medium heat. Saute the salmon cakes for 3 - 5 minutes per side, until browned, crispy and heated through.

Serve warm with your desired dipping sauce (we used guacamole with sriracha mixed in).

Enjoy!
