I went back to my cheap Perfect Vegetarian<\/em> cookbook and decided it was time for some substance beyond chicken soup. I was craving veggies and the thought of meat\u00a0sounded 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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The Ingredients:
\n<\/strong>1 lb. Sweet Potatoes – I used two\u00a0white and 1 orange sweet potato – peeled and grated
\n1 Egg – lightly beaten
\n1\/3 Cup All-Purpose Flour
\n2.5 oz. Butter – melted
\n3.5 oz. Feta Cheese – crumbled
\n3 Tablespoons Chopped Fresh Mint
\nSalt and Pepper
\n1 Tablespoon Vegetable Oil
\n4 Tablespoons Sour Cream<\/p>\n

The Directions:
\n<\/strong>Peel and grate the sweet potatoes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Chop the mint…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add\u00a0the sweet potato shreds with the flour, melted butter, feta and mint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lightly\u00a0beat the egg.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Add the egg to the mixture and season with salt and pepper and mix.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Left handed pours while holding the bigger camera in my right hand have proved to be a bit of a challenge. Still learning…<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Slide the patties onto a cookie sheet covered in parchment paper and bake for 15 minutes until crisp. Mine took about 20 minutes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Top with sour cream and garnish with more chopped mint.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

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\u00a0sweet and savory. I never in a million years thought the combo would taste as good as it did.<\/p>\n

Now I’m hungry, guessing that’s a good sign.
