Title: Fartes De Batata / Sweet Potato Cakes [Ttop]
Categories: Portugese Cake
Yield: 36 Servings

400	g	Sweet potato, [14oz] cooled and mashed]
350	g	Sugar, granulated [12oz]
1	tb	Flour
2		Eggs
30	g	Butter [1oz], plus,
2	tb	Butter, melted and ready for brushing]
90	g	Almonds, ground [3oz]
90	g	Glace fruit, mixed
2	tb	Orange juice

Mix the sugar with 30g/1oz butter and the eggs. Add the mashed potato, flour, almonds, juice and fruit [previously cut into small pieces]. Beat thoroughly. Then bring to the boil over low heat, until all the moisture disappears, whilst stirring, to prevent sticking. When very thick, take a mixture off the heat and turn it onto a floured board. Shape into 2.5cm/1inch squares and place in greased tins. Brush the tops with melted butter and bake at 190^C/375^F for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown. When baked, brush again with melted butter and dredge with sugar. from THE TASTE OF PORTUGAL by EDITE VIEIRA typed by KEVIN JCJD SYMONS
