Instructions
- Place the sweet potato chunks in boiling water and cook until just tender, then drain and roughly mash. Allow to cool.

- In a separate bowl, mix the parsley and coriander with the beaten egg and flour and add to the cooled sweet potato. Shape into 4 large, flat fritters.
- Heat a little olive oil in a large, non-stick frying pan and cook the fritters over a medium heat for 4-5 minutes on each side.
- Meanwhile, add 1 teaspoon olive oil to a separate large, non-stick frying pan, and cook the burgers for 10-15 minutes, turning once, until cooked through. Serve each burger on a sweet potato fritter bed with a side salad.
