A Note from Feedfeed
These Sweet Potato Fritters are made with a combination of sweet, savory, and crispy goodness. Grated sweet potatoes mingle with vibrant green onions, red bell pepper, and a touch of Parmesan, creating a flavorful base. Enhanced with the subtle sweetness of maple syrup and a hint of thyme, these fritters are pan-fried to golden perfection. To achieve that irresistible crunch, be sure to squeeze out excess moisture from the grated sweet potatoes. Served with a zesty Spicy Maple Dipping Sauce featuring Greek yogurt, mayo, and a kick of sriracha, these fritters make a fantastic appetizer.

Method
Step 1

Step 4
Using a spoon, add dollops of the sweet potato mixture to the skillet and press into a pancake/fritter shape.
Step 5
Cook in the skillet over medium heat for 3-4 minutes per side or until they are golden brown on the outside and cooked through inside.
Step 6
While the fritters are cooking, prepare the dipping sauce by combining Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, sriracha, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Mix well.
Step 7
Serve the sweet potato fritters on a platter with a dollop of the prepared dipping sauce. Garnish with fresh parsley.
