    You are going to love this easy Sweet Potato Fritters recipe!! These Sweet Potato Fritters make the ultimate snack or easy meal. They are freezer friendly and can also be made using a Thermomix.

    Stack of five sweet potato fritters sitting on a pale wooden plate.

    This Sweet Potato Fritters recipe is based on my Cauliflower and Cheese Fritters (which my entire family just loves!) and I was pretty confident they would also love my sweet potato version.

    You will love:

    These Fritters are made using simple ingredients and the batter takes under 10 minutes to prepare.

    As Sweet Potatoes are a great source of dietary fibre, niacin, folate, magnesium and calcium and have a low GI (which means they help you feel fuller for longer) these tasty Sweet Potato Fritters the perfect filling meal or snack (and lunchbox filler!) for the entire family to enjoy any time of the day.

    We simply serve them with some extra vegetables, salad or even roast chicken/lamb to help turn them into a yummy lunch or dinner and my kids also like to eat them warm with some tomato sauce for their breakfast.  They are also great for the little hands and I’ve popped these into my boys lunchboxes and they have gobbled them up – yay!

    Ingredients

    Please note you will find a full list of ingredients and the recipe method in the recipe card below.

    You will need Sweet Potato, Zucchini, cheese, eggs, self-raising flour, garlic, onion flakes and water to make these fritters. I like to use extra virgin olive oil to cook the fritters in, however you can also use ghee or butter if you prefer.

    How to Make Sweet Potato Fritters

    Step 1. Prepare the ingredients, grate the sweet potato and zucchini and place into a large bowl.

    Step 2. Add the garlic, onion flakes, self-raising flour and cheese and mix to combined.

    Step 3. Add the eggs and around ¼ cup of water and stir to combine. If the mixture is still dry, add the remaining water until the desired consistency is achieved.

    Step 4. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop up the batter and place the fritter mixture into your pan.

    Step 5. Cook until golden on each side.

    Recipe Hints and Tips

    This recipe makes A LOT of fritters, so why not store some in the freezer for another time. Simply store them in a freezer safe container (or even ziplock bags) for up to two months and then reheat in your oven on 180 degrees for approximately 10 – 15 minutes.

    You may need more or less water than specified due to the moisture content of the vegetables.

    Any type of cheese can be used, we prefer tasty and parmesan cheese.

    Store cooked fritters into an airtight container and store in the fridge. Consume within 4 days.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Can you eat sweet potato skin?

    You sure can, I like to peel the sweet potatoes when making these fritters however you can certainly leave the skin on if you would prefer.

    Should you wash sweet potatoes before storing?

    We recommend only washing sweet potatoes just before you are about to consume them.

    Equipment

    • 1 x Frying Pan
    • 1 x Grater

    Ingredients
      

    • 300 grams sweet potatoes peeled
    • 70 grams zucchini
    • 30 grams parmesan cheese
    • 100 grams tasty cheese
    • 1 tablespoon of onion flakes
    • 2 cloves garlic
    • 2 cups self raising flour 300 grams
    • salt and pepper to taste
    • 2 eggs
    • ½ cup of water
    • 40 grams Extra virgin olive oil for frying

    Instructions
     

    • Grate the peeled sweet potato and place into a large bowl.
    • Add the crushed garlic, onion flakes, grated zucchini, tasty cheese, parmesan cheese to the bowl with the grated sweet potato and add the self raising flour before stirring well to combine.
    • Beat the eggs in a small bowl lightly with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the eggs along with ¼ cup of water to the bowl with the sweet potato mixture and stir. Gradually add the extra water and stir until you have a thick batter – please note you may not need all of the water depending on the size/water content of the sweet potato and zucchini that you used.
    • Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and use a ¼ measuring cup to scoop up the batter and place the fritter mixture into your pan. Use a spoon to gently spread the mixture into a circle between ½cm – 1cm thick. You should be able to fit approximately six fritters (or even more depending on the size of your pan) into your frying pan.
    • Cook the Sweet Potato Fritters for 5 minutes on each side until they are crisp and golden brown before transferring to a plate and covering them with foil so they stay warm while you cook the next batch. Repeat until all the fritters have been cooked.

    Thermomix Instructions

    • Place the parmesan and tasty cheese which has been cut into 3cm chunks into your Thermomix bowl and mix for 7 seconds on speed 9 to grate. Transfer to a separate bowl until needed.
    • Without washing the bowl, add the Zucchini (which has been cut into 3cm pieces) into your thermomix bowl and mix for 4 seconds on speed 6. If you would like it cut into smaller pieces, mix for a further 2 seconds. Transfer to the bowl with the grated cheese.
    • Without washing the bowl, add the sweet potato (which has been cut into 4 cm pieces), garlic cloves and onion flakes to your Thermomix bowl and mix for 6 seconds on speed 8 to grate the sweet potato.  If there are still large pieces in your Thermomix bowl, scrape the sides and blitz for a further 3 seconds on speed 6.
    • Add the grated cheeses and zucchini, along with 2 eggs, 300g of self raising flour, and ¼ a cup of water to your Thermomix bowl in that order – please note you may not need all of the water depending on the size/water content of the sweet potato and zucchini that you used.  Mix for 15 seconds on speed 4 REVERSE to combine the ingredients. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and if your mixture is still a little dry, add the remaining ¼ cup of water and mix for a further 15 seconds on speed 4 REVERSE or until combined.
    • Follow cooking instructions from step 4.
