Sweet Potato Patties

---

This sweet potato patties recipe is one of my favorites. I use brown rice a lot in my healthy vegan recipes. It is a rich source of lots of nutrients, and makes for a much lighter patty than a bean-based veggie burger. This recipe is simple and delicious. It allows for a lot of variation in seasoning, and can easily be made with potato rather than sweet potato for a more neutral flavor. I've kept things really simple here to focus attention on the sweet potato.

Steps

---

Be sure to have your rice cooked & cooled before you begin.

---

This can happen at dinner the night before , at breakfast , or an hour before dinner.

---

As long as the rice has cooled , it will be sticky enough to make into a patty.

---

Stir together the rice , sweet potato , onion and salt in a large bowl.

---

Allow it to sit for a few minutes , so that the salt can draw the moisture out of the potato & onion.

---

Stir in enough flour to make the batter sticky , adding a spoonful or two of water if necessary.

---

Form the mixture into tight balls , and squish slightly into a patty form.

---

Heat a pan on medium , then add enough oil to coat the underside of each patty.

---

Allow them to cook for 7-10 minutes , then flip.

---

Cook another 5-7 minutes , and serve.

---

These sweet potato brown rice patties can be served on their own , garnished with salsa and lettuce , on a bun as a burger , or many other ways.

---

In the photo , i served them alongside some steamed kale , dressed with tamari and sesame seeds.
