Amazing sweet potato fritters

Potato fritters are an old-fashioned favourite, and like most potato dishes, you can’t make them much better. After all, potato is one of the most versatile vegetables out there. Well, actually you can make them better. By subbing out the potato for sweet potato! 

Speaking of versatility, the combination of potato and fritters extend the versatility of the dish. You can enjoy them as is, or topped with something like avocado or sour cream, and serve them as a side for brekky, lunch, or dinner – or as the main meal! 

Ingredients

• 3 cups grated sweet potato 
• 4 eggs, whisked
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• Salt and pepper
• Butter, for the pan

Method

1. Squeeze the grated sweet potato to remove any excess juice and place in to a bowl with eggs, paprika, salt and pepper to taste, and combine well.

2. Melt some butter in a frypan on a medium heat.

3. Drop approximately 1/4 cupfuls of the mixture into the pan, and flatten slightly with a spatula. Cook for 5 minutes, then flip and cook for a further 5 minutes on the other side.

4. Repeat with the remaining mixture. You can keep the cooked ones warm in a low oven while you finish the rest.

5. Serve with sour cream, or mashed avocado.
