I use olive oil rather than butter and LOTS of garlic.

We also prepare patties a la Babaduck, using olive oil again, but generally use Batata Baroa rather than potatoes.

Batata Baroa is a native Peruvian root vegetable popular in Brazil that grows only at medium to high altitudes. I have never seen it outside southern South America. Potatoes work too, but the tangy favor and smooth consistency of Batata Baroa compliments the Brussels Sprouts quite perfectly.

I like Brussels Sprouts any way at all except in butter or with bacon, both of which make them too fatty for my taste. I applaud all those among you who enjoy the fatty ones.

Eastbay 1K, your chosen recipe is quite popular here too, where bacon is added to almost everything.
