I went back to my cheap Perfect Vegetarian cookbook and decided it was time for some substance beyond chicken soup. I was craving veggies and the thought of meat sounded very unappealing. I’m still recovering from being sick – hope I get my appetite back soon. These certainly helped… they were delicious and I can’t wait to make them again. Next time I will half the recipe – it’s not Dan’s thing, so I had a lot of waste and I think they are best eaten immediately. Crispy and warm, straight out of the oven.
The Ingredients:
1 lb. Sweet Potatoes – I used two white and 1 orange sweet potato – peeled and grated
1 Egg – lightly beaten
1/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
2.5 oz. Butter – melted
3.5 oz. Feta Cheese – crumbled
3 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Mint
Salt and Pepper
1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
4 Tablespoons Sour Cream
The Directions:
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes.
Chop the mint…
Add the sweet potato shreds with the flour, melted butter, feta and mint.
Lightly beat the egg.
Add the egg to the mixture and season with salt and pepper and mix.
Left handed pours while holding the bigger camera in my right hand have proved to be a bit of a challenge. Still learning…
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Form your patties – I just grabbed a clump and made them like I would burgers. I flattened them a bit before adding them to the pan.
I did 4 at a time and made 3 batches – that only used about 3/4 of the mixture. Cook on both sides until golden brown.
Slide the patties onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes until crisp. Mine took about 20 minutes.
Top with sour cream and garnish with more chopped mint.
Pure heaven on a plate. I gobbled them up and will for sure be making them again. The sweetness of the potato combined with the feta and mint was a perfect blend of sweet and savory. I never in a million years thought the combo would taste as good as it did.
Now I’m hungry, guessing that’s a good sign.

I would pretty much kill for a couple of those right now! YUM.
Feta in anything – yum yum yum.
Yummy! Interesting combo… I’d be willing to help you make/eat some next time! 🙂
This recipe was incredible. I was first suspicious of the mint but what a great addition to the flavors. I will do this agin.
These were absolutely amazing. Thank you!
Try adding a chopped red chilli. Even better!
