Instructions:

1. Prepare the Ingredients:
   • Sweet Potatoes: Peel and dice the sweet potatoes. Boil or steam them until tender, about 15-20 minutes. Mash them thoroughly.
   • Black Beans: Drain and rinse the black beans if using canned. Mash them with a fork or potato masher until they are mostly smooth with a few chunks remaining.
   • Oats: If using whole oats, blend them slightly in a food processor to make them finer, which will help in binding the patties.
2. Mix Ingredients:
   • In a large bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, mashed black beans, oats, and chopped parsley (if using).
   • If the mixture is not binding well, add one egg to help hold everything together. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.
3. Form Patties:
   • Take small handfuls of the mixture and shape them into patties. You should get about 8-10 patties from this mixture, depending on the size you make.
4. Cook Patties:
   • Oven Method: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Place the patties on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking. Bake for 25 minutes, flipping the patties halfway through the cooking time to ensure even baking.
   • Stovetop Method: Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat with a small amount of olive oil. Cook the patties for about 5-7 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and cooked through.
5. Cool and Store:
   • Let the patties cool completely on a wire rack.
   • Store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. For longer storage, you can freeze the patties. Place them in a single layer on a baking sheet to freeze, then transfer to a freezer-safe bag or container.

Tips:

Travel Convenience: If you’re traveling, you can pack the cooled patties in a cooler to keep them fresh. They also make great frozen treats if your dog enjoys cold snacks.

Variations: Feel free to add other dog-safe vegetables like grated carrots or finely chopped spinach to the mixture for added nutrition.

Serving Size: Adjust the size of the patties according to your dog’s size and dietary needs. Smaller dogs may require smaller portions.

These patties are not only delicious but also provide a balanced mix of protein, fiber, and healthy carbohydrates to keep your dog satisfied during your travels. Enjoy your time on the go with your happy and well-fed furry friend!

Note:

Always check with your veterinarian before adding new foods to your dog’s diet to ensure they are suitable for your dog’s health and dietary needs.
