Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (or shredded mozzarella)
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped green onions
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour (or almond flour)
  • 2 tablespoons cooked bacon pieces (optional)
  • 1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into small matchsticks
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon brown sugar (optional)
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic granules (or onion granules)
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Oil of your choice (e.g., avocado oil), for frying

METHOD:
Get the sweet potato ready:
Using a grater, peel and shred the sweet potato.
Transfer the sweet potato shreds into a large mixing basin.

Combine the ingredients:
Toss in the fried bacon pieces (if using), finely chopped green onions, and grated Parmesan cheese (or shredded mozzarella) in the bowl with the shredded sweet potato.
Stir in the beaten egg, salt, pepper, brown sugar (if using), dried oregano, garlic powder, and all-purpose flour (or almond flour).
Stir everything until well mixed.
Create the Fritters:
Form the mixture into tiny patties with your hands, pushing down hard so that they stay together.
Warm up the oil:
In a big skillet, heat up a lot of oil over medium-high heat.
Ascertain that the oil is heated but not smoking.
Prepare the Fritters:
Don’t overcrowd the skillet as you carefully add the sweet potato fritters.
Fry for about 3–4 minutes on each side, or until they become crispy and golden brown.
To drain any extra oil, move the fried fritters to a dish covered with paper towels.
Serve: Present the warm sweet potato fritters with a dollop of sour cream or more green onions, if preferred. Have fun!
