Description
Learn how to make delicious sweet potato fritters at home with this easy recipe. Crispy on the outside, soft on the inside – perfect for any meal!
Ingredients
- – 3 cups grated sweet potato (720g)
- – 2 eggs
- – 1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese (60g)
- – 1/4 cup breadcrumbs (or all-purpose flour) (30g)
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cumin
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) dried oregano
- – 1/4 teaspoon (1 ml) salt
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) vegetable oil
Instructions
- Peel the sweet potato and grate it using a handheld or box grater into a mixing bowl. Squeeze out any extra moisture and dry off with a paper towel to ensure the fritters turn out crispy rather than soggy.
- Combine the grated sweet potato with the remaining ingredients, excluding the vegetable oil.
- Pour the vegetable oil into a skillet. Once it’s heated, place 1/4 cup of the mixture into the pan and flatten it. Cook for 2 to 3 minutes on each side, turning once halfway through. (Ensure the oil is evenly distributed when flipping the fritters.) For smaller fritters, use 2 tablespoons of the mixture.
- Enjoy the Sweet Potato Fritters while warm, serving them with your choice of dips like sour cream, ketchup, guacamole, or ranch dressing.
Notes
- Try using all-purpose flour instead of breadcrumbs for a crispier texture.
- Add a pinch of paprika or chili powder for a spicy twist.
- Bake the fritters in the oven for a healthier cooking option.
