Fry the diced onion and grated carrot in olive or sunflower oil until softened. Add to the sweet potato mix.

n a large bowl mix the cooked rice, cheese, eggs and breadcrumbs. Then add the vegetable mixture, ham, chopped parsley and black pepper (to taste) then mix together. The mix should not be too wet, it should be dry enough to handle.
-
Take heaped tablespoons of the mix and mould into round patties. Place on greaseproof paper lined trays and chill in the fridge for 30 minutes.
-
Dip each patty in egg and breadcrumbs and then shallow fry on a medium heat for a couple of minutes each side. Drain on kitchen paper before serving.
