Make

Preheat oven to 500F (260C) degrees.
Place sweet potatoes in a sheet pan and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 10 minutes on top rack.
Place patties on a sheet pan and then brush with cooking oil and salt and pepper.
After sweet potatoes have steamed for 10 minutes, take them out and toss with olive oil and a generous sprinkle of salt. Roast for another 10 to 15 minutes uncovered, giving them a shake midway through. At the same time put the patties in on the bottom rack. Bake the patties for 10 to 12 minutes.
Toast buns in the last few minutes of cooking. Slice avocados and tomatoes.
Let everyone assemble their own burgers with as much hot sauce aioli as they want! Finish sweet potato fries with more salt if you want. Serve hot dipped in ketchup.
