How to Make Basil Butter Sweet Potato Patties
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Wash and pierce 1 large sweet potato (about 1 lb) several times with a fork. Microwave on high for 8-10 minutes, or until tender. Alternatively, boil or steam until tender (about 20 minutes).
- While still warm, peel and mash the sweet potato in a medium bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of butter and mash until smooth.
- Stir in 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, 1/4 cup chopped walnuts or pecans, 1 clove minced garlic, 1/2 cup grated cheddar cheese, and 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Season generously with salt and pepper to taste.
- Once the mixture is cool enough to handle, shape it into 8 patties (approximately 1/2 inch thick).
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Cook the patties in two batches for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and heated through. (For easier flipping, consider using well-greased egg rings.)
- Serve immediately with your favorite grilled meat (chicken, steak, or fish), a fresh green salad, and a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt (optional).
