I'm cooking this todayRecipe's preparation
In the mixing bowl combine the sweet potato and water and set to cook for 10 mins./speed 2/100'C.
Drain using the basket and return to the mixing bowl. Add the herbs and stock and puree for 5-10 secs/speed 5 or as smooth as you want it.
Add the salmon, egg and flour and mix 4-5 secs./speed 3 or until combined.
Scoop out spoonfulls using the spatula and roll into balls, then toss in the sesame seeds to coat.
You can roll em how you like. I like to make bigger ones and bub has to bite them, or you can make little ones, or patties. Its up to you.
Coating in the seeds is totally optional. When I dont have sesame I use chia or desicated coconut or nothing.
Lay on a lined baking tray and bake at 180'C for 20 minutes, depending on the size you rolled yours they make take more or less.
Serve with steamed or raw vege and some of the lovely EDC tomato sauce or a sauce of choice.
I have made these for dinner many times and serve with salad, or for a party as finger food and I served them with the EDC herb and garlic dip or once with just sour cream with paprika to colour it pink at a pink ribbon high tea.
Enjoy!
Mix, Roll, Bake!
Tip
If you have a mix of ages in your home simply serve the mashed sweet potato and salmon as a baby food, small balls to toddlers and make patties for the adults. Great as salmon burgers or in winter you can even simmer them in soup like little dumplings (no seeds).
You can make them with tuna of course or even with steamed fish of any kind.
Also a great way to use up left over sweet potato, it does not matter how it was cooked and can be made when its cold.

Comments
These were salvagable, however they couldn't be made into balls, so I scooped into pan and they were rustic and flat. I would suggest chopping (5 sec, speed 5) the herbs and onion before you cook the sweet potato and put asside. The sweet potato was hard to drain as it was complete mush, so prehaps put in
"Counter-clockwise operation" . I used speltflour x 3 tbs.
Hi Brion Jade, my salmon tin is 170 grams net. But, so long as its not a really small tin the amount is quite flexible. You could also use fresh salmon. If you cook them longer you can use raw or just use cooked (like left overs).

So glad to hear! I made them for my 14mth old little girl originally, but we all ended up having them for dinner and the leftovers got frozen for easy meals for her later.

How big is the tin of salmon you used??
These are really amazing!! Both my kids (2&6) loved them. So did I!
My little girl just munched through four of these!
