cooking is good for the soul


	Sweet Potato Patties Quick and easy, the flavor of this side dish will surprise you. 1 sweet potato ½ cup pecans ½ tsp Celtic Sea Salt 1 egg Preheat oven to 350°. Scrub the sweet potato and cut it into large chunks. (Don't worry about peeling until later). Steam the sweet potato for roughly 10 minutes until tender. In a food processor or blender, process the pecans until they are chopped fine (but be careful not to make pecan butter). Alternately, chop pecans by hand. Place sweet potato pieces in a small bowl. When they are cool to the touch remove the skins. Add chopped pecans and sea salt and mix well, mashing the sweet potatoes with a whisk. Whisk in the egg. The resulting mixture should be like a thick muffin batter. Butter a baking sheet (I use ghee). Using a tablespoon, scoop out batter and drop it on the baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Flip patties over with a spatula an bake for 3 more minutes. Serve with split pea soup for a delicious and colorful dinner!

High in Vitamin A, the rich, sweet flesh of sweet potatoes is cherished by both children and adults.It's hard to improve on a baked sweet potato served with butter or ghee and Celtic Sea Salt. However, this recipe provides a super quick way to enjoy sweet potatoes. I also like to use sweet potatoes in baked goods to add moistness and sweetness.
