These Sweet Potato and Feta Fritters are the perfect balance of crispy, savory, and slightly sweet. Perfect as a side dish, appetizer, or vegetarian main course, they’re easy to make and full of flavor.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 medium-sized sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
  • 100g crumbled feta cheese
  • 2 large eggs, at room temperature
  • 1/3 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free flour alternative)
  • 2 stalks green onions, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon ground cumin
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil, for frying

Instructions

  1. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated sweet potato in a clean kitchen towel and squeeze out any excess moisture.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the grated sweet potato, crumbled feta, eggs, flour, green onions, parsley, minced garlic, ground cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir until everything is well incorporated.
  3. Add enough olive oil to lightly coat the bottom of a non-stick skillet. Heat the oil over medium heat until it’s shimmering but not smoking.
  4. Take a small handful of the mixture and shape it into a patty about 2-3 inches in diameter. Repeat until you’ve used all the mixture.
  5. Carefully place the patties into the hot skillet, leaving some space between each fritter. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  6. Use a spatula to transfer the cooked fritters to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.

Notes

[‘Grate sweet potatoes finely for even cooking and better binding.’, ‘Squeeze out excess moisture from the sweet potatoes to avoid soggy fritters.’, ‘If the mixture feels too wet, add more flour one tablespoon at a time.’, ‘Cook a single fritter first to test seasoning and texture before cooking the rest.’, ‘Stick to medium heat for frying to ensure even cooking and crispiness.’]
