Sweet Potato and Carrot Fritters

Sweet Potato and Carrot Fritters

Fritters or hash browns are a great savory addition to the morning or early lunch plate, so it’s good to have a quick and easy recipe you can whip up. I love sweet potatoes and more people realize they make a perfect substitute for white potatoes for pretty much everything from fries to au gratin. Mix in some carrots to add freshness and an extra dosage of vitamins and other nutrients, and voila!

What you need 🛒🛒🛒:

2 cups sweet potato, shredded

1 1/2 cups carrots, shredded

2 eggs

2 teaspoons ginger

1 teaspoon paprika

1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon chilli powder

1 teaspoon salt 

1 teaspoon black pepper

2/3 cups all-purpose flour

Spicy aioli:

2 teaspoons chili sauce

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1 teaspoon lemon juice

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

What you do 🍳🍳🍳:

Step 1

Shred the carrots and sweet potato in a bowl. Add the spices and flour.

Step 2

Add the eggs and mash with your hands to ensure even distribution.

Step 3

Cook each fritter for about 3-5 minutes depending on the size and how thick you make them, do not burn!

Serves 3 - 4.
