Sweet Potato Patties

     We love sweet potatoes and bake them often as a side dish with chicken, pork, turkey, ham, or even fish.  The leftovers usually hang around.  Sometimes they get reheated and eaten, but many times they just go to the dogs or to the trash.  I hate being wasteful, so today I decided to do something with the leftovers.  Good?  You bet!!  And a new Westover Leftover was born.

INGREDIENTS:  YIELDS 8 PATTIES

2 leftover sweet potatoes, peeled

1 egg, beaten

2 -3 TBSP bread crumbs

3-4 slices cooked bacon, crumbled

½ – ¾ cup veggies (corn, Kale, spinach, onions, maybe even bell pepper)

Dash salt, pepper, cinnamon, and nutmeg

PREPARATION:

In a medium bowl, beat the egg.  Add the sweet potato and mash with a fork.  Add bread crumbs, bacon, veggies, and seasonings.  Form into patties and cook in a skillet until browned on both sides.  I drizzled a little olive oil at first, and then when I flipped them, I put a teeny smidge of butter.  Flatten the patties slightly after flipping.
