In this recipe, I opted to go the savory route with my sweet potato fritters since they are naturally plenty sweet. The inspiration for this dish came from an Indian savory snack, Pakoras, which are deep-fried and served with chutney. Pakoras can be made from anything, but onion and potato pakoras are the most popular. I used the same batter as pakoras and used sweet potatoes and onions and topped with a dash of chaat masala, lemon juice and served them with chutney. The sweetness from the potatoes and the savory batter is an amazing combination and a party of flavors in your mouth.
I can’t help wonder why I didn’t think of this recipe before? You can serve this as an appetizer, a side for any holiday dinner or even eat them for dinner topped on a tortilla. I chose to shallow fry them in sunflower oil, but you can deep fry them or cook them in an Air-Fryer.
