Today, we’re sharing an incredible Sweet Potato Fritter recipe that will surprise you. Forget about nutritionless snacks; this recipe is the perfect solution for anyone looking for a healthy and delicious option.
Ingredients for Sweet Potato Fritters:
- 1 sweet potato (white or orange/yam variety)
- 1/2 tbsp salt
- 10 tbsp oat bran
- 1 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
- Salt to taste
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- Cheese slices of your choice (we use half a slice of mozzarella per fritter)
- 1 egg yolk (for brushing)
- Dried oregano to taste
How to Make Sweet Potato Fritters:
- Start by slicing the sweet potato into rounds. Don’t worry about removing imperfections at this stage.
- In a large pot, boil enough water to cover the potatoes and add half a tablespoon of salt. Add the sweet potato slices and cook over high heat for about 20 minutes, or until very tender.
- Once cooked, drain and let the potatoes cool slightly. Then, peel them and remove any unwanted spots.
- Discard the skins and mash the sweet potato. Season with salt to taste (about half a tablespoon) and add the oat bran and olive oil. Mix until you get a smooth, consistent dough.
- Incorporate the baking powder until the dough reaches the ideal texture for shaping.
- To form the fritters, take a generous tablespoon of the dough into your hands and stuff it with a piece of your favorite cheese. Seal the edges, closing the fritter into a round shape.
- Place the fritters on a greased or non-stick baking sheet and brush them with the egg yolk. Sprinkle with oregano to taste.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes.
