Sweet Potato Gnocchi (Fancy Burgerville Sweet Potato Fries)by Erik of Fancy Fast Food varying a recipe suggested by Heather M. of Croqzine Ingredients: 1 Burgerville Classic Hamburger (or any burger) 1 large order of local sweet potato fries 1 side salad 1 bottle of local water 1 soft drink of your choice organic parsley (for garnish and a touch of irony) Here’s a vegetarian dish from the fresh, local, sustainable ingredient-committed fast food chain Burgerville from the American Pacific Northwest, that’s sure to appease any of the treehugging Fancy Fast Foodies out there. First, let’s get rid of that local 100% Country Natural Burgerville Beef patty from the burger. (Give it to a carnivorous friend, if you will.) Then break apart pieces of the bun and add enough water to make it soggy. Take that slop and add it to a food processor with the Tillamook cheese from the side salad and all of the sweet potato fries. Then blend it all up until it becomes a bowl of local and sustainable mush.Knead the mush until it’s a good doughy consistency; if it’s too moist and squishy, dry it in the oven at 375°F (baking times will vary, as needed). When it’s good to go, use your hands to roll pieces of the sweet potato dough into small balls about 3/4” in diameter. Then slightly squish each one down into an egg shape with a fork, leaving a nice texture behind.Chop the fresh greens from the salad and sprinkle them over the gnocchi. Then top it off with a garnish of organic parsley (Is it ironic in this case?), and serve with the soft drink in a nice glass. Tada! See how good these Italian dumplings can look, but are they still bad for you? You be the judge.

Sweet Potato Gnocchi (Fancy Burgerville Sweet Potato Fries)
by Erik of Fancy Fast Food varying a recipe suggested by Heather M. of Croqzine

Ingredients:

  • 1 Burgerville Classic Hamburger (or any burger)
  • 1 large order of local sweet potato fries
  • 1 side salad
  • 1 bottle of local water
  • 1 soft drink of your choice
  • organic parsley (for garnish and a touch of irony)
