Leftover baked sweet potato ideas?
Ideas for breakfast or dinner? The one I threw in the oven for dinner took too long, so now it's a leftover. It'll probably make about 2c of baked potato once I mash it down. Thanks!

So easy, so delicious. Reheats beautifully.
Since 2 c. mashed is about 1 pound of sweet potatoes, you can halve the recipe to serve four, and proceed with the recipe. Just add the sweet potatoes when you get ready to blend all ingredients together.

Or-- to the mashed sweet potato, add chopped cooked bacon, sauteed onions, cooked brown rice and a beaten egg as a binder. Season, make into patties and saute in a bit of butter or EVOO til brown on both sides.
Scoop the flesh out of the sweet potato into a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons butter, an egg, salt and pepper to taste, about 2 tablespoons flour, stir to combine all. If you like add a couple chopped scallions, white to pale green parts only. (Reserve the green tops to chop for garnish.) If it seems too loose, add another tablespoon of flour. Heat a couple tablespoons olive oil in a frying pan until almost smoking, then drop sweet potatoes in small rounds, using the back of a spoon to flatten the top of each fritter just a little. Don’t crowd the pan. You may have to do this in batches. Sautee for a few minutes until golden brown underneath, then flip with a spatula and sautee for a couple minutes more. Remove and let drain on paper towels. If you like, serve with eggs – scrambled, poached or fried.
