Ingredients
Scale
Sweet Potato Fritters
- 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
- 1 flax egg (1 tablespoon ground flaxseed mixed with 3 tablespoons water)
- 1/4 cup all purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons cornstarch
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 cup avocado oil (divided)
Lemon Chive Aioli
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 2 tablespoons dried chives
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
Instructions
- Combine all aioli ingredients in a small bowl and set aside. If you have time, allow aioli to hang out in the fridge for two hours before serving.
- Peel sweet potatoes and grate either using a large box grater or using the shredding capability of a food processor (so easy!).
- Mix sweet potatoes with all purpose flour, cornstarch, and seasonings.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a cast iron or nonstick pan over medium heat.
- Using a spoon or your hands, place about 2 heaping tablespoons into a pile in the pan and use a spatula to smash down to a flat patty shape.
- Allow to pan fry for about 2 minutes. Flip and cook the other side for an additional 2 minutes until brown and crisp.
- Remove from heat and place on a wire rack with paper towels beneath to catch any oil. Repeat until all fritters are cooked.
- Sprinkle the fritters with salt and fresh chives and serve with aioli.
Notes
You can make these fritters smaller and more bite sized by only using 1 tablespoon of sweet potato mixture at a time.
