I can't decide what category these sweet potato cakes belong in. They'd make a great appetizer. They'd be perfect as a Thanksgiving side dish. They'd be a perfect sweet snack or dessert. I'd even rock them for breakfast. So, let's note label them. NOTE: The recipe makes 6 sweet potato cakes. The serving size depends on how you're serving them. If the sweet potato cakes are an appetizer, I would say 1 cake equals 1 servings. However, if they're a side dish or breakfast, I'd probably eat 2-3.
