Sweet Potato Fritters with Bacon and Green Onions
Sweet Potato Fritters with Bacon and Green Onions - a crispy, savory snack perfect for any meal. Easy to make and full of flavor!
Ingredients
- 1 large sweet potato peeled and shredded
- 1 large egg whisked
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese grated (or shredded mozzarella cheese)
- 1/4 cup flour can sub for almond flour
- 1 teaspoon brown sugar optional
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder or garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon oregano
- 2 tablespoons green onions finely chopped
- 2 tablespoons cooked bacon crumbles optional
- Oil of choice I use avocado oil
Instructions
- Peel and grate the sweet potato. I use a mini food processor to shred the potato.
- Rinse the shredded potato under cold water until the water runs clear to remove the starch.
- Squeeze out the water and moisture using a cheesecloth bag or by patting dry with paper towels.
- In a separate bowl, crack the egg and whisk it with the green onions.
- Mix the egg mixture with the shredded potatoes. Add salt, pepper, spices, flour, and bacon, then mix until well combined.
- In a large skillet, heat a thin layer of oil over medium heat.
- Using a spoon, add rounds of the sweet potato mixture to the skillet and press into a fritter shape with a spatula.
- Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through.
- Serve with a dollop of sour cream or your favorite dipping sauce. I love mine with homemade chipotle dipping sauce.
