Ingredients
- 2 medium-sized Sweet potato
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 2 stalks Green onions, chopped
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil or vegetable oil
Directions
Step 1
Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor.
Step 2
Place the grated sweet potatoes in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out as much moisture as possible. This helps the fritters become crispier.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, egg, chopped green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.
Step 4
Heat the olive oil or vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Step 5
Scoop about 2 tablespoons of the mixture into your hands and shape it into a small patty. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.
Step 6
Carefully place the fritters into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 7
Transfer the cooked fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 8
Serve warm with your favorite dipping sauce or as a side dish.
