Spiced Sweet Potato Fritters: The Amazing Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Olivia
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 2 cups grated sweet potatoes (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
– 1/2 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour)
– 1/4 cup finely chopped green onions
– 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (optional)
– 1 large egg
– 2 teaspoons ground cumin
– 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
– 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
– 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional for heat)
– Oil for frying (olive oil or vegetable oil)


Instructions

Creating Spiced Sweet Potato Fritters is straightforward if you follow these detailed steps:

1. Prepare Sweet Potatoes: Peel and grate the sweet potatoes. Place them in a clean dish towel and squeeze out excess moisture for better frying.
2. Mix Ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, flour, green onions, Parmesan cheese, egg, cumin, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper. Mix until everything is well combined.
3. Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a small amount of the batter; it should sizzle and float.
4. Form Fritters: Using about 2 tablespoons of batter, form small patties. Place them carefully into the hot oil.
5. Fry Fritters: Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Avoid overcrowding the skillet to ensure even cooking.
6. Drain Excess Oil: Once golden brown, remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
7. Repeat: Continue frying the rest of the batter, adding more oil as needed.
8. Serve Warm: These fritters are best enjoyed fresh and warm.

By following these simple steps, you will have delightful Spiced Sweet Potato Fritters that will tantalize your taste buds.
