Ingredients
Sweet Potato Fritters
- 2 sweet potatoes on the small side peeled and shredded
- 2 eggs
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ cup flour
- ¼ cup breadcrumbs
- salt and pepper
Lemon Tahini Dip
- ½ cup Tahini
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 3 tbsp water
- ¼ tsp salt
- ½ tsp Za’atar
Honey Cinnamon Dip
- ½ cup mayonnaise
- ⅓ tsp cinnamon
- 2 tbsp honey
Instructions
- Peel your potatoes and then grate them on the medium setting…. Not super fine, but not very thick.
- Combine the rest of the sweet potato ingredients except for the oil in a bowl and mix.
- Heat the oil in a frying pan on the stove (I know that my oil is ready when a chopstick inserted in the oil forms bubbles around the wood).
- Use your hands to form the sweet potato combination into balls, and then press between your palms to flatten.
- Fry until browned on each side and cooked through, flipping halfway through.
- For each of the dip recipes, combine all ingredients in a bowl. Enjoy!
