Ingredients
INGREDIENTS
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and diced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/4 cup chopped green onions
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Boil the diced sweet potatoes in salted water until tender, about 10-15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, mash the sweet potatoes until smooth. Stir in the crumbled feta cheese, chopped green onions, flour, eggs, baking powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil. Once hot, scoop tablespoons of the fritter mixture into the skillet, flattening them slightly with a spatula.
- Cook each fritter for 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Remove and place on paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Serve warm, drizzled with honey or accompanied by Greek yogurt, as desired.
Notes
Tip: For a gluten-free option, substitute the flour with almond flour or a gluten-free baking mix.
For the best texture, ensure the sweet potatoes are well-drained after boiling. If you prefer a lighter version, you can substitute half of the feta with cottage cheese. These fritters can also be baked instead of fried for a healthier alternative.
Store leftover fritters in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat them in a skillet over medium heat for a few minutes to regain their crispiness.
