   Flatten each patty with a spatula.

8. Step 8

   Cook the patties, turning once until nicely browned on both sides, 6 to 8 minutes total. Repeat with remaining shredded sweet potato mixture, adding additional olive oil to the pan if necessary. Enjoy immediately with your favorite breakfast foods.
