Ingredients
- 2 medium sweet potatoes about 14 oz / 400 g, peeled and grated
- ½ cup all-purpose plain flour 60g
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk 60ml
- ½ cup grated cheddar cheese 59g
- 1 small onion finely chopped
- 2 garlic cloves minced
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon pepper
- ½ teaspoon smoked paprika
- 2 tablespoon oil for frying, more if needed
Instructions
- Peel and grate the sweet potatoes, then squeeze out any excess moisture using a clean kitchen towel or paper towel.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, eggs, milk, salt, pepper, and smoked paprika until you have a smooth batter.
- Stir in the grated sweet potato, cheese, chopped onion, and garlic until everything is well combined.
- Heat 1-2 tablespoon of oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato mixture into the pan and flatten each slightly with the back of a spoon to form fritters.
- Fry each fritter for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Cook in batches if needed, and add more oil if necessary.
- Transfer the fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Serve hot, with a dipping sauce like sour cream, yogurt, or salsa.
