I like to use a salty cheese therefor no extra salt is added. I choose a sheep cheese that used sea salt. The medium sweet potato should yield almost 3 cups of shredded sweet potato. You make double the batch and freeze them and easily cook them in a toaster oven. Wrap them with wax paper for easy defrosting. If you are making cakes bigger the time to bake may take the full 25 minutes. For an egg free version, I have made these with chia seeds {2 tbsp. chia & 5 tbsp. h2o} or ground flax {2 tbsp. flax 5 tbsp. h2o}. Mix seeds with water till it has a gooey consistency and add. Please use organic ingredients when you can.
