Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

Mash the boiled and peeled sweet potato until smooth.

Combine Ingredients

In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, semolina, cottage cheese (if using), and salt. Mix well until a dough forms.

Roll the mixture into small balls. Flatten each ball into a patty about 1/2 inch thick.
