After the first 2 steps, i was very impressed with this recipe: the onions, garlic and cumin smelled and looked great... but something went wrong after that bc these patties came out very dry and their texture was, well, less than appetizing.

Really tasty, healthy recipe. I did not pre-cook the sweet potatoes and they turned out fine. I made about 20 small patties and I think they turned out crispier and cooked better this way. They were enjoyed by vegetarians and non-vegetarians alike at a dinner party along with fish tacos. They're also good with melted, crispy cheese on top. I thought they made good leftovers, just warm in a pan the next day. You must make the cream for topping, it really adds to the taste! Will definitely make these again.

I thought this recipe was very flavorful. I changed the breadcrumbs to diced low-carb green onion wrap.

This was disappointing. The lime sour cream was good, but the bean patties were dry and didn't have as much flavor as I expected. I followed the recipe exactly, but next time I would add a lot more cumin and garlic (believe it or not). Unfortunately, these don't make good leftovers either.

This recipe is awesome! Even my non-veggie friends liked it. The prep is a bit time consuming (esp. grating the sweet potato) but its worth it. The lime sour cream is a great touch goes perfectly with the black bean cakes.

Very, very good. Try these, they are worth it -- quick, good, and healthy. Don't skip the lime sour cream -- it goes great with the cakes. I microwaved the grated sweet potato for 1 minute before mixing in because I wasn't sure how well it cook in the broiler. Watch the time -- it did not take as long for me as it says.
