Pulse the onion in the food processor in two to three batches until finely chopped and put it in a bowl with the grated garlic and the pulsed parsley.

Air-frying the sweet potatoes

Air fry at 400F in one even layer per batch for about 15 minutes, until crisp at the edges and cooked through, tossing each batch with crushed dried oregano and crumbled feta while hot.
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat with a little olive oil and cook the patties six to eight minutes per side for thick ones, four to five for smaller, until golden and 165F inside.
