Give your typical roasted sweet potatoes a run for their money with these easy-to-prep fritters that are sure to be a crowd pleaser no matter what time of day you serve them. They’re like latkes but even better since they’re only lightly fried in a teensy bit of oil, plus—hello!—they’re topped with avocado.
Ingredients
- 1egg
- 1medium sweet potato, peeled, grated, and drained
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Sea salt
- Pepper
- 1 tablespoon coconut oil
