Sweet potato patties and more grilled SALMON!

I knew what my meat was going to be...

But my side dish was another thing...

Fairly often, what I cook

just depends on what is in my cabinet.

I forgot to get regular potatoes

 at the store, 

and I had a large sweet potato. 

So sweet potato fritter 

patty thing-a-ma jigs, is what I threw together.

They are pretty quick and simple to make.

First you need to cook the sweet potato in the microwave for about 5-7 minutes.

When you can pierce it really easily with a fork, it is ready.

Scoop out the inside and mix with one egg and about 1/2 to 1 cup of flour.  Some parsley flakes and a little garlic powder.

You want the batter to be thicker than pancake batter, but not as thick as mashed potatoes.  

They will look something like this...

Fry them in just a little of your favorite oil...I used canola oil for these.  

When you remove them, 
place them on paper towels to soak up any excess oil. 

They were tasty!  
 Next time, I may even add some diced onion to the batter or some cheese!

These went great with my grilled 

salmon below!

For the salmon, just marinate it in a few tablespoons of soy sauce for about 30 minutes.  Then on a medium hot grill, spray the salmon with cooking spray and place skin side UP for about 5 

minutes then flip the skin side down for about 5 minutes.  It was sooo good!  

Love what you eat and eat what you love!  :)
