| 1. In a skillet over medium high heat, add the oil. | 2. When it shimmers, add the onion, jalepeno and garlic, and cook until the onion is soft (~3min). | 3. Season with salt and pepper and set aside. | 4. Put the cooked sweet potatoes in a large bowl and mash. | 5. Stir in the onion mixture and bread crumbs. | 6. Season with salt and pepper. | 7. Using your hands form the mixture into little cakes (I find that silver dollar size works best, and makes a great appetizer). | 8. Flatten them and dredge in the cornmeal. | 9. In a large skillet, heat the oil. | 10. Working in batches, fry each cake til golden brown, and then transfer to paper towels. | 11. Season with salt and pepper. | 12. Combine all ingredients to make the mojito sauce and serve immediately with the cakes. | 13. I have made a large batch and baked the cakes instead of frying them for speed. | 14. Just be sure to baste with oil on both sides and turn while baking. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
