Basil Butter Sweet Potato Patties
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.
