Ingredients

  • 2 medium sweet potatoes, grated
  • 1 small onion, finely chopped
  • 2 whole eggs
  • 0.5 cup almond flour
  • 0.5 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • to taste salt and pepper
  • as needed olive oil for frying
  • 1 whole avocado, sliced (for topping)
  • as needed fresh cilantro, chopped (for garnish)
  • as needed Greek yogurt or dairy-free yogurt (for serving)

Instructions

  1. Start by peeling and grating the sweet potatoes into a large bowl.
  2. Add the chopped onion, eggs, almond flour, baking powder, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix everything together until well combined. The mixture should be slightly thick but still spreadable.
  3. Heat a non-stick skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
  4. Once the oil is hot, scoop about 1/4 cup of the sweet potato mixture into the skillet, flattening it slightly with a spatula to form a fritter.
  5. Fry each fritter for about 4-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Repeat until all the mixture is cooked, adding more oil as needed.
  6. Once the fritters are cooked, create a stack by layering two or three fritters per serving.
  7. Top each stack with fresh avocado slices, a dollop of yogurt, and a sprinkle of chopped cilantro to add freshness.

💡 Chef's Notes

Serve the fritter stacks on a rustic wooden board or a colorful plate, drizzling some extra olive oil around the edge for an elegant touch.
