Instructions
1 Steam the diced sweet potato over a saucepan of simmering water for 10 minutes, until tender, then crush with a fork. Mix with the olive oil, crab meat, fish sauce, garlic, dill and ½ cup breadcrumbs, then season with salt and pepper and form into four puck shapes. Refrigerate until firm.
2 Dust the crab cakes with flour, dip in beaten egg, then coat with the remaining breadcrumbs. Fry in hot (180°C) vegetable oil for 5 minutes until deep-golden, then drain on kitchen paper.
