Method
- 1
Heat the oven to 200°C (180°C fan) and line a tray with baking paper. Squeeze the grated sweet potato in a clean tea towel to remove as much water as you can.
- 2
In a bowl, mix the lamb, sweet potato, onion, egg, oats, cumin and mint with your hands until sticky and even. Do not add salt.
- 3
Shape into 12 fat finger shapes, about the size of an adult finger, for baby led weaning. Or make small round patties for older children.
- 4
Brush with the rapeseed oil and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, turning once, until golden outside and cooked through with no pink inside.
23 min - 5
Check one patty is piping hot and fully cooked in the middle, then let them cool for 10 minutes.
- 6
Always sit with babies as they eat. They keep 2 days in the fridge and freeze for 3 months.
