These crispy golden sweet potato fritters are a delightful way to start your day, offering a perfect blend of flavors when served with applesauce and yogurt.
Ingredients
2 medium sweet potatoes
1 medium onion
2 large eggs
3 tablespoons olive oil
to taste none salt
to taste none pepper
Method
Start by preheating your oven to a low temperature of 200°F (95°C) and line a baking sheet with paper towels.
In a mixing bowl, soak the grated sweet potatoes in lightly salted water. After soaking, rinse them well and drain using a sieve, then pat them dry with a cloth or paper towels.
Add the rinsed grated onion to the bowl with the sweet potatoes, then mix in the eggs and a dash of pepper until everything is nicely combined.
Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Take a heaping tablespoon of the sweet potato mixture and drop it into the hot oil, flattening it into a patty shape with a fork. Cook for about 5 to 8 minutes on one side, or until it turns a lovely golden brown and crispy.
Carefully flip the fritter, sprinkle with a little salt, and cook the other side until it also achieves a golden color. Move the finished fritters to the warm baking sheet in the oven while you continue to fry the rest of the mixture.
Remember to give the sweet potato mixture a good stir before frying each new batch. Serve these scrumptious fritters warm, paired with applesauce and yogurt for a delightful treat.
