Sweet Potato Fritters
Ingredients
- Sweet potato - 2 medium, skinned and grated
- Cheddar cheese - 1 cup, grated
- Spring onion - 1/4 cup chopped
- Carrot - 1 small, grated
- Eggs - 2
- Salt and black pepper
- For the dressing:
- Greek yoghurt - 1/2 cup
- Lemon - 1, zest and juice extracted
- Garlic - 1 clove
- Paprika - 1/4 tsp
Instructions
- In a large mixing bowl, add the sweet potato, cheddar cheese and green onion. Whisk the eggs lightly and add them to the bowl with the sweet potatoes. Mix everything together well and season.
- Heat a medium sized oiled frying pan over medium-high heat. Form a small handful of the mixture into a fritter. Place carefully in the hot pan. The fritter will bind together better after it has fried for a minute or two. Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Work in batches, oiling in between. Place the cooked fritters on a paper towel on top of a plate.
- For the yoghurt dressing, mix the yogurt, lemon zest, juice garlic and paprika together in a small bowl. Serve alongside the fritters.
