These pan-fried Sweet Potato Fritters are easy to make and crazy delicious!
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. 
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!

What could I use as a replacement for the eggs?
Do I have to Cook the sweet potatoes before grating them?
No
These look delicious… as one of my family is dairy free, what could be used as a substitute?
Thanks… I love your blog!!!
Thank you! Do you ever use nutritional yeast? That could be used in place of the parmesan cheese.
Is it possible to freeze these?
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.
Made this for dinner and it was delicious!
