If you like me you’ve been out to eat a restaurant before.

Just show me da recipe brah

Before we get any deeper. I want to take a few moments to say respect to the vegan restaurants out there as they become more popular and give us other options to choose from. As well as to the restaurants that have true vegan options and not just fries and beer.

Movin on…there was a time that sliders was the new thing and pretty popular. They’re like mini-burgers, for those who never had one. This was partially inspired by a sweet potato burger I had a a restaurant but there was one real problem with it I didn’t like.

The burger was mushy. For some people, that might be ya thang. You like a mushy burger I guess. That ain’t it for me. I like when things stay together on my burger. The burger was still good, I just prefer a different type of texture so I did what I always do

You guessed it. Decided to make my own.

So with that being said, I’m gonna say that this recipe is actually pretty easy. You can definitely make a large batch of these with only a few sweet potatoes and create an appetizer for your guests if you ever decided to use these when you host a function.
