SWEET POTATO PATTIES



Sweet Potato Patties image

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.

Provided by Heather Nauta

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup water
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 cup short grain brown rice
1/2 cup sweet potato, grated
1/2 onion, diced
1/2 cup whole grain flour
1 teaspoon olive oil

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.

BASIL BUTTER SWEET POTATO PATTIES



Basil Butter Sweet Potato Patties image

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.

Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • To ensure the patties hold their shape well, make sure the sweet potatoes are cooked through and slightly firm. Overcooked sweet potatoes will make the patties mushy.
  • For a crispy exterior, coat the patties in breadcrumbs before pan-frying. You can also use crushed nuts or seeds for a different texture.
  • Feel free to experiment with different seasonings and herbs to create different flavor profiles. Some popular options include garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, cumin, chili powder, and fresh cilantro.
  • If you're short on time, you can use pre-cooked sweet potatoes. Just make sure they're still firm enough to hold their shape.
  • Sweet potato patties can be served as a main course, side dish, or appetizer. They're also great for meal prep as they can be made ahead of time and reheated later.

Conclusion:

With their delicious flavor, versatility, and nutritional value, sweet potato patties are a great addition to any meal. Whether you're looking for a healthy breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack, these patties have you covered.
