Make

  1. Preheat oven to 500F (260C) degrees.
  2. Place sweet potatoes in a sheet pan and then cover tightly with foil. Bake for 10 minutes on top rack.
  3. Place cooling rack in a sheet pan and then place patties on top of cooling rack (this allows any fat to drip off). Brush with cooking oil and salt and pepper.
  4. 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 12 to 15 minutes until they've reached an internal temperature of 165F (74C) degrees.
  5. Slice avocados and tomatoes.
  6. 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.
