Fiery Thai Kettle Chips and Sweet Potato Burgers with Beer Sweet Chili Cream Sauce

Fiery Thai Kettle Chips and Sweet Potato Burgers with Beer Sweet Chili Cream Sauce

I was a vegetarian for 3 years. Mostly because I grew up on a farm, and I saw how the sausage was made. It didn’t stick, but what did stick is my true and complete love for non-meat burgers (and yes, I still love burgers of the meat-based variety, I just see them as two different things).

The flavors you can get from a patty made with a bowl full of produce is rather staggering, and this burger is easily my favorite.

I’d love to take credit for the depth of flavors, but it’s due in no small part to these chips. Even when turned into crumbs and buried in a ton of other bold flavors, you can taste the heat and the lemongrass from the Kettle Brand Fiery Thai potato chips!

The burger also just so happens to pair beautifully with a winter ale. The malt and spices of a good winter ale will taste fantastic with the flavors of sweet potatoes, smoked paprika, and lemongrass.

I’m not going to lie to you, you can always see right through me. I ate these burgers for three meals in a row. I even put an egg on a patty, added some avocado and sweet chili sauce and ate it for breakfast. And I’m not even sorry about it.

Fiery Thai Kettle Brand Chips and Sweet Potato Burgers with Beer Sweet Chili Cream Sauce

Servings 6 servings

Ingredients
  

For the Burgers

  • 1 lbs sweet potatoes
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil divided (plus more as needed)
  • 1 4.2 oz bag of Kettle Brand Fiery Thai Potato Chips
  • ¼ cup rolled oats
  • 1 cup quinoa red or black, cooked (1/3 cup pre-cooking volume)
  • 1 can black beans rinsed and drained
  • 2 tablespoons cilantro minced
  • 2 tablespoons green onions minced
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ¼ teaspoon smoked paprika
  • 3 tablespoons beer winter ale, rye, Bock
  • 6 hamburger buns
  • 1 large avocado sliced
  • 1 tomato sliced
  • Additional potato chips for garnish if desired

For the Sauce:

  • 1 cup sour cream
  • ¼ cup Thai sweet chili sauce
  • 1 tablespoon beer winter ale, rye, Bock
  • 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375° F.
  • Peel the sweet potatoes, then cut into cubes. Add to a baking sheet, drizzle with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Roast until the potatoes are fork tender, about 20 minutes (boiling the potatoes will add too much moisture to the filling).
  • Add the potato chips and the oats to a food processor, process until just crumbs remain.
  • In a large mixing bowl add the chip crumbs, sweet potato cubes, cooked quinoa, black beans, cilantro, onions, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and beer. Mix until well combined. Form into 6 large patties, about ¾ inch tall.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a skillet over medium high heat, cook the patties until golden brown on each side, adding more olive oil to the pan when it starts to dry.
  • In a small bowl stir together the sauce ingredients.
  • Plate burgers in the buns topped with avocado slices, tomato, sauce and potato chips (if using), serve immediately.
  • To make in advance, make the burger patty mixture, add to an air tight container, chill for up to three days before using.

I can’t find this flavor anywhere. Not even on their website. Any chance it’s new and not in stores yet? Found a lot of other flavors and bought them! Just not Fiery Thai….

I made these tonight and they were great. I couldn’t find the Thai chips either so I used the Chili Lime.

I’m guessing the beer is just added to the other sauce ingredients, as I couldn’t see that. They sound great.
