1. Finely dice onion and sweet potato. In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp of olive oil.

4. Shape mixture into 4-6 patties. 

5. Wipe out skillet with a paper towel. Heat 1 Tbsp olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the burgers (in batches, if necessary) and cook until internal temperature reaches 165 and burgers are browned on both sides (4-5 minutes on each side).
