Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking paper. Cook the potato chunks in a pan of boiling water for 10 minutes, then add the sweet potato and cook for another 10 minutes, or until tender.
Drain and return to the pan. Place on a low heat and cook for 1 minute, to steam off any liquid. Transfer to a large bowl and add the beans and chilli, if using.
Meanwhile, put the quinoa in another pan, cover with cold water and bring to the boil, then simmer for 12-15 minutes. Drain and add to the potato mixture.
Add the parsley, season with pepper then mash. Shape into 8 cakes, place on the baking tray and bake for 20 minutes.
Meanwhile, make the salsa. Put the tomatoes, avocado, sweetcorn and spring onions in a bowl, add the lime juice, then mix well. Serve with the cakes, with salad leaves on the side.
