Cook the sweet potatoes until completely done, ensuring they are not hard.

Remove the skin from the sweet potatoes and place them in a large bowl.

Add butter, salt, black pepper, and brown sugar to the sweet potatoes and mash until well combined.

Refrigerate the mixture for about 40 minutes to cool down.

Prepare the breading station with panko bread crumbs and an egg mixed with a little water.

Form the cooled sweet potato mixture into small, flat patties.

Dip each patty into the egg wash and then coat with panko bread crumbs, pressing down to adhere.

Heat vegetable oil in a pan for shallow frying.

Drop the patties into the hot oil and shallow fry for about 1-2 minutes on each side until golden brown.

Plate the patties and serve with optional toppings like balsamic vinaigrette, sriracha, and garlic aioli.
