Breakfast Patties with Inside Out Sweet Potatoes

I am finishing up my breakfast for dinner menu and I ended up making all but one of the recipes.  Most of them were dairy centered but this one is meat.  It is called a breakfast sausage recipe but it didn’t work for me so I removed the word sausage.  These were turkey burgers from start to finish.  The best part of the meal, for me, was the inside out sweet potatoes which came to be through sheer laziness.  How wonderful to be lazy, at times.

Instead of making sweet potatoes with a crunchy topping, I included the topping in the mashed sweet potatoes so every bite afforded one the opportunity to crunch a little.

By the way, speaking of lazy, both these are quick an d easy recipes that satisfy you, in short time.

I am starting with the sweet potatoes which are easy to make delicious as a side dish.

Inside Out Sweet Potatoes

Ingredients:

4 medium sweet potatoes

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

1/4 cup brown sugar

3 tablespoons Rice Milk

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

1/4 cup chopped pecans, roughly chopped

If you want to add some melted butter or margarine, it will only add to it.  I am cutting back on fats when I think they are not necessary.

Method:

Peel sweet potatoes and cube into one inch pieces.

Boil potatoes until tender, easy to mash.

Add all other ingredients and mash these together until smooth.

I was going to bake this for twenty minutes but decided, it was not necessary.  It was delicious.
