- Peel and chop the shallot and add to a mixing bowl. Snip the chives into the bowl then add the cooked sweet potato. Mash with a potato masher until evenly combined.
- Add 1/2 tsp salt, pepper, the paprika, cumin, marjoram, mustard, allspice and plain flour to the bowl and mix everything together.
- Spread the panko breadcrumbs onto a large plate.

Notes
- If you don’t have Panko breadcrumbs you can use regular breadcrumbs Grind 2 slices of bread in a food processor then spread over a baking sheet and cook in the oven at 150c for 10 minutes. Remove and allow to completely cool on the baking sheet before using.
