I could easily change the name of this blog to Sweet Potatoes: A Love Story. It would be a love story with a bit of tragedy. Why?

Sweet potatoes are my true food love. A more perfect food I’ve yet to find. Yet. My family doesn’t share the love. That makes me and sweet potato a sort of star-crossed lovers. I have to be careful when I express my love.

I can get my family to eat sweet potato chips, sweet potato pancakes, and sweet potato muffins. Get the theme? They have to be in crispy chip form or baked into something.

But that’s okay. That just means there’s more stuffed sweet potatoes or Sweet Potato Fritters for me.

These Sweet Potato Fritters are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, and insanely flavorful. They pair perfectly with the avocado dipping sauce. It’s spiked with fresh basil, which complements the Sweet Potato Fritters really well. Sweet Potato Fritters recipe with avocado dipping sauce

I know you’re going to love these Sweet Potato Fritters as much as I do. I hope you get to share them with your family!

    This recipes a delight. Sweet potatoes really are versatile; your fritters sound like a delicious compromise between crispy and soft textures. The avocado dip with basil sounds like a genius touch.

    These look delicious… as one of my family is dairy free, what could be used as a substitute?

      Thank you! Do you ever use nutritional yeast? That could be used in place of the parmesan cheese.

      There is an asterisk next to the flour but couldn’t find what it referenced. I expect it recommends a different flour but would like to know your substitution of choice. Thank you for your response in advance.

    […] Enjoying potato fritters with dipping sauce is a treat. You can pick from classic sauces like sour cream or applesauce. Or, try something different like aioli or homemade avocado sauce, as seen on Happy Healthy Mama. […]
