Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound sweet potatoes
  • 3.5 ounces feta crumbled
  • 3 tablespoons fresh dill chopped, optional
  • 1 teaspoon ground paprika
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 3 large eggs room temp
  • salt to taste
  • black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F. Peel the sweet potatoes and grate so you get large shreds.
    1 pound sweet potatoes
  2. Once grated, place the sweet potato in a towel and squeeze out excess moisture, but not completely as we don't want the fritters to be dry.
  3. In a large bowl, combine grated sweet potato, crumbled feta cheese, dill, spices, and beaten eggs. Mix until well combined.
    3.5 ounces feta, 3 tablespoons fresh dill, 1 teaspoon ground paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, 3 large eggs, salt to taste, black pepper to taste
  4. Take about ¼ cup of the sweet potato mixture and shape it into patties or balls. Place the patties or balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Spray lightly with olive oil.
  5. Gently press down on each ball using the back of a measuring cup to form a patty shape. Make sure not to make the patties too thick.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the tops of the patties are golden brown and crispy.
  7. Once done, remove the sweet potato patties from the oven and let them cool slightly.
  8. Serve the patties with your choice of dipping sauces such as avocado crema, sour cream, ranch dressing, or any other preferred sauce.
