1. Arrange the peeled, washed and chopped sweet potato in a Fagor pot. Season lightly and bring to a boil.

3. Meanwhile, heat a Fagor cast aluminium pan and when hot, sauté the ham and mushrooms. Add salt and pepper to taste and set aside.

4. Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, drain well from the cooking water and without letting them cool down, add the previously reserved stir-fry and the mozzarella cheese.

5. Mix well until you get a dense and homogeneous cream. Leave to cool in the refrigerator.

6. Form the croquettes and coat them with flour, beaten egg and panko.
