I am cooking Thai dishes for the Oceanic Cuisine theme . Yesterday it was a cucumber salad , for today I have Sweet Potato Cakes . These are just like our Tikkis and they make a perfect evening snack .
The Tikkis have a very pleasing flavor , they are spicy , tangy , salty and slightly sweet . You can say typical Thai flavors . I served them with Sweet and Sour dip . The dip is sweet and tangy, the recipe for it shall follow soon..For now it is these Sweet Potato Cakes.

Not a fan of sweet potatoes… but with that dip, I feel these patties would be amazing…
