I found a recipe for a cake I really liked in Spain, I didn't know sweet potaos were used. Anyway, here it is and a link:

170 gr. almond flour
150 gr. sweet potato
130 gr. sugar
2 eggs
200 gr. pinenuts
INSTRUCTIONS
- Place the sweet potatoes in a small saucepan, cover with water and bring to the boil.
- Cook until the sweet potatoes are tender.
- Using a masher, mash the sweets potatoes and let it cool.
- In a large bowl, mix the mashed sweet potato with almond flour and sugar.
- Mix well using your hands.
- Add an egg and continue mixing all the ingredients together until you get a consistent dough.
- Using a teaspoon, scoop to form the dough into balls.
- Then, roll the balls in the pinenuts.
- Separate the yolk egg from the white egg
- Brush the top of each ball with egg yolk
- Preheat the oven to 180*C / 350*F
- Line a baking tray and grease with butter.
- Place the panellets leaving 1 cm between them.
- Bake for about 10 minutes, then grill top for about 3 minutes until golden.
- Serve with a glass of muscatel. Bon apetit!
There are lots of youtube videos of how to make them, just type in "panellets." The ones I've watched are in Spanish, but perhaps Richard can translate. Apparently, some make them without the potatoes.
