Instructions
To make the burgers:
- Preheat your oven to 400℉ and line a small baking sheet with tinfoil. Spray with cooking spray.
- Poke the potatoes all over with a fork and bake on the prepared baking tray until fork-tender and soft, about 45 to 50 minutes. Let cool.
- In a large bowl, use a fork to mash the baked sweet potato and the white beans. Leave the beans a little bit chunky to add some texture.
- Stir in the cornmeal, garlic, paprika, cumin, chili powder, salt, and pepper. Refrigerate the mixture for at least 30 minutes to make it easier to shape. (The longer the better!)
- While the mixture cools, prep all the veggies.
- Heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Cook the sliced red pepper and onion until browned, about 3 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and cover to keep warm.
To cook the burgers:
- Pour the panko onto a small plate. Take a scant 1/2 cup of the potato mixture and form a 4-inch patty. Press it down onto the panko to coat the bottom and up the sides. Once the patty is covered, transfer it to a separate large plate. Repeat with the remaining 3 burgers.
- Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in the same large pan over medium heat. Using a pancake flipper, gently lift 2 of the burgers off the plate and into the pan, and use the sides of the flipper to gently reform if they lose their shape.
- Cook until golden brown, about 6 to 8 minutes. Do not flip until the burger easily releases from the pan. Once golden, flip and cook fior and additional 6 to 8 minutes on the other side. The inside of the burgers stay very soft and moist with a crispy exterior. Repeat with the remaining oil and 2 patties.
- Once cooked, transfer each burger to a bun and top with salsa, lettuce, avocado slices, sautéed red pepper and onion, corn kernels, and cilantro.
- Devour!
