Method

Mix yams with egg, parsley, apple, pear, walnuts, bacon, cinnamon, salt and pepper, then form into flat circular patties. Coat both sides in flour. Place oil in a large frying pan and heat. Fry patties in oil, on each side, until golden brown. Serve with whipped butter and a drizzle of maple syrup.

 

Notes: I created this recipe especially for Thanksgiving. It has the wonderful taste of mashed yams with the crunch of fruit and nuts. Bacon adds that extra-special surprise. The drizzle of maple syrup enriches it and even kids can't turn these down.
