Salmon Patties

Now I have to be honest here… this is my mum’s recipe! I grew up eating these salmon patties so every time I eat them it brings me back to my childhood.

I've just tweaked a few things including the addition of mixed herbs and using sweet potato. The original recipe used white potato so that's a great option for an alternative (remember there's nothing wrong with it, I just LOVE the taste of sweet potato).
