I'm a bit late posting these results, but we were very busy this weekend.
We made Inkling's Autumn Vegetable Patties (scroll down a few posts for the recipe). HOLY COW!!!
I may start cutting meat out of my diet more than once a week...I made these as a side dish to go along with some roasted chicken, and salad. I should have tripled the recipe. I opted not to eat the chicken, because I'd had copious amounts of meat at lunch that day, and my stomach was a bit wonky due to some overindulging in baked goods earlier in the week...
I ate 3 of them, BB ate 4, the kids devoured the remainder...
Heavenly! Captain already asked for the "great cakes" twice over the weekend, and Princess wanted some for breakfast today with syrup...
The texture was sublime - not too mushy, not too "lumpy" if you get my meaning...the flavor was a treat for certain. The combination of sweet potato and spinach was not one I'd have ever made on my own, but with the other herbs and spices in there...wow!
We did top ours with the spiced sour cream (only I used Plain Greek Yogurt...shhhh...don't tell BB!), and it was just enough decadence to make you feel like you were indulging in some uber-unhealthy fare like cheese-covered potato cakes or something like that...
YUUUUMMMMMMYYYYY!!!!!!
Needless to say, these are now in my rotation, and I might even find a way to make them a bit sweeter for breakfast fare...we'll see how that goes...

Glad you and the whole family liked them. We had them tonight, and you would have thought we were trying to torture Jonathan. He's in a "mac-n-cheese, chicken fingers, carrots & peanut butter, goat cheese & crackers only" stage right now. So you can imagine he's going to bed a bit on the hungry side tonight.
Tonight I didn't have enough spinach so I got some shredded zucchini out of the freezer, thawed it and drained it, and mixed it in with the small amount of spinach I did have. So good. I love how versatile this recipe is. Now just to convince my preschooler that veggies are his friend.....
