Sweet Potato Fritters

I am rip-roaring over these Easy Sweet Potato Fritters! They are crispy, simple to prep, quick to cook.

And so simple. Sweet potatoes shredded with a box grater, mixed with eggs, chives, paprika, turmeric, salt and pepper and then spooned into a hot pan and cooked until crispy and browned.

I love to serve my fritters with only some ketchup but you could also serve with some eggs for breakfast or as a side dish

Prep time 15 min

Cook time: 12 minutes

Servings: 4 (12 fritters)

Ingredients: 5 medium sweet potatoes Salt and pepper 1 tsp oregano 2 eggs 2 tbsp oil 1 tbsp chives, chopped 1 tsp paprika 1/2 turmeric Procedure:

Peel sweet potatoes, soak them in water then grate the potatoes using a grater.

In a large bowl, sprinkle the sweet potatoes with salt, pepper and oregano.

In a small bowl, mix the eggs, oil, chives, paprika and turmeric.

Pour the eggs mixture into the potatoes' bowl mixing well until well combined.

Place a pan on medium/high heat for two minutes then add butter /oil. Allow the oil to get hot but not too hot.

Add sweet potatoes to pan by the large spoonful (2-3 tablespoons) and use the back of the spoon to spread grated potatoes into a circle (try to keep fritters about a 1/4 inch thick).

Cook 4 minutes or so until the first side is browned, pressing with a spatula here and there, then gently turn fritters over to cook second side, turning down heat if necessary.

If cooking in batches, try to remove any bits of potatoes that broke off and add more butter/oil to pan before adding second batch When potatoes are done, serve alone, with ketchup.
