These kumara patties came about when we had kumara left over from dinner the night before. They make a good alternative to toast and set you up for the day. They are quick and simple to make, mashed with fresh herbs and lemon. Top with a runny poached egg, and tomato and basil on the side and you have a delicious breakfast. You could also make the patties with a mix of potato and kumara, and add chopped chilli for extra bite.
