Make the Burgers
Yield: about 12 burgers
-
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Add sweet potatoes and bake until soft throughout, about 45 minutes. Peel and mash with beans.
-
Heat oil in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add onion and sauté until soft, five to seven minutes. Add garlic and cook an additional two minutes.
-
Add onion mixture, brown rice, cumin, chili powder, parsley, egg, bread crumbs, salt, and pepper to sweet potato mixture. Form mixture into patties and refrigerate for at least 20 minutes.
-
Heat olive oil in a frying pan. When hot, add patties and fry until golden.
-
Assemble sandwiches. Spread each burger with one tablespoon garlic aioli. Serve on a toasted bun with a slice of cheese.
I use the garlic aioli, first featured in Whisk Issue #217 on the garlic aioli roast, as a spread for these burgers. In a tall, wide glass or container, combine six garlic cloves, two tablespoons vinegar, two eggs, 1/4 teaspoon sugar, 3/4 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper. With a hand blender, blend until mixture starts to get frothy. Slowly add 1 and 1/2 cups canola oil and blend until mixture forms into mayonnaise texture. Mixture will thicken once it is refrigerated.

Wondering...
Is it possible I could make these with russet or yukon gold potatoes instead of sweet ? This recipe does sound amazing and I can't wait to try it! -
These were great!
I made these today. They came out great! We all liked it better with ketchup (and sliced pickles) rather than with garlic aioli.
