Sweet Potato Sausage Patties

Sweet potato, mushrooms, roasted red peppers... no boring breakfast patties here!

Ingredients:

1/2 lb pork breakfast sausage (loose meat or 6 sausages with casings removed)

1/2 tsp dry sage or savory

2 tsp dry chives

2 tbsps finely chopped button mushrooms

2 tbsps finely chopped roasted red peppers, with liquid squeezed out

1/2 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato (leftovers work here)

1/2 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp worcestershire sauce

sea salt and pepper (or Mrs. Dash) to taste

3 tbsps olive oil

Combine the sausage meat, sage, chives, mushrooms, sweet potato, red pepper, onion powder, worcestershire, salt and pepper. Line a pan with parchment paper, then scoop out portions to form patties. You might want to oil your hands before shaping each scoop into patties then place them on the pan. This will make 7-8 patties 1/2" thick. Refrigerate for a couple of hours.

Heat a skillet large enough for patties and add the olive oil. Pan fry each side 3-4 minutes or until golden and cooked through.

I like mine with caesar dressing, others like them with srirracha sauce. Maybe maple syrup,eh? What will you try them with?
