Como fazer Sweet Potato Cakes And Mojito Sauce

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
While oven preheats, prepare sweet potatoes: Peel and chop 2 large sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Boil or steam until tender (about 15-20 minutes).
In a skillet over medium heat, heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add 1 medium chopped yellow onion and 1 minced jalapeño pepper. Cook until softened, about 5 minutes.
Add 2 minced cloves of garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
Season the onion mixture with salt and pepper. Set aside.
In a large bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes. Stir in the onion mixture and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Form the mixture into small cakes (about 1/2 cup each).
Flatten slightly and dredge each cake in 1/2 cup cornmeal, ensuring they are evenly coated.
Place cakes on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with a little olive oil on both sides.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and heated through.
While the cakes bake, prepare the Mojito Sauce: Combine 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves, 1/4 cup lime juice, 2 tablespoons white rum (optional), 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/4 cup water in a blender or food processor. Blend until smooth.
Serve the sweet potato cakes immediately, topped with the zesty Mojito sauce.
