Method
  1. Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add kūmara and cook for 10 minutes, or until soft enough to mash.
  2. Drain the kūmara and mash well.
  3. Heat half the oil in a frying pan over a medium heat. Add the onion, garlic and ginger and cook for 3 minutes.
  4. Add the lamb mince and break up with a wooden spoon. Cook for about 5 minutes or until the lamb is cooked.
  5. Stir through the capsicum, soy sauce and parsley (if using). Cook for another 2 minutes then take off the heat.
  6. Add the lamb mix to the kūmara and stir until combined. Shape mixture into 6 large patties. Dust with flour.
  7. Heat the remaining oil in the frying pan over a medium heat. Cook patties for 3 minutes each side, or until golden brown.
Notes

These patties make delicious homemade burgers, or are great served with a salad for a quick dinner.
