Prep Time: 20 min. Well, it took me an hour! It was worth it though. Wow, these are really good. They make great leftovers too. The sweet potato gives it a really interesting taste, and I love the lime sour cream dip. I’d never thought to put jalapeno chiles and lime juice in sour cream.

Healthy – These patties are pretty healthy because they’re broiled in the oven, instead of fried.

Vegan – Leave out the egg. Substitute dairy sour cream for tofu sour cream.
