Basil Butter Sweet Potato Patties
This yummy recipe is from the australian women's weekly's 'fresh food fast: delicious no-fuss healthy recipes'. when making patties, i often use well-greased egg rings. I have some that can be used in non-stick pans and place the mixture directly into these, then remove them when flipping the patties - with the help of two spatulas - to cook the reverse side.
Steps
Boil , steam or microwave the sweet potato until it is tender.
Drain.
Mash the sweet potato with butter in a medium bowl.
Stir in the basil , nuts , garlic , cheese and breadcrumbs.
When cool enough to handle , shape the sweet potato mixture into 8 patties.
Heat the oil in a large pan , preferably non-stick , and cook the patties in 2 batches , until browned on both sides and heated through.
Serve with your choice of meats and salad greens.
