SWEET POTATO PECAN PATTIES
From Cooking Light, these were suggested being served as veggie burgers with whole-grain buns and Boston lettuce leaves with chili sauce. I think they're too carb-rich for that but would make a nice starch side to have with greens and another protein like tofu or seitan. I guess that 3 or so sweet potatoes would be enough?
