These 3-Ingredient Sweet Potato Fritters are SUPER easy to make, very nutritious and make a great meal or snack for baby led weaners aged 6mo+. They are also so tasty for the whole family to eat!
Ingredients
- 1x medium sized Sweet Potato
- 3x eggs
- 1x sprinkle of Cumin
Directions
- Step 1 Using a grater, grate the whole sweet potato into a bowl. Using the same bowl, ADD 3x eggs and sprinkle some cumin. Mix all ingredients together. On medium heat, heat up a little olive oil in a large pan (until the base is shiny). Spoon out 1x tablespoon of sweet potato mixture onto the pan, and flatten ingredients out to make 1x flat fritter (TIP: make each fritter ‘flat’ not thick, so mixture cooks through). Continue spooning out mixture to make 4x fritters on the pan (depending how large your pan is)
- Step 2 Leave to cook for 2 minutes on one side. Then flip and cook for 2 minutes on the other side. Once all the fritters are cooked, leave to cool. Serve with freshly sliced avocado and full fat greek yogurt as a dipping sauce. Freeze left over fritters (lay fritters flat in freezer not touching) for future meals for baby and family.
For 8 months old+ you can serve the same or cut them up into smaller squares so baby can practice his pincer grip
Hi! I made these for my 9.5 month old baby girl and she loved! So easy to make!
Awesome x
I have dumb question… do we feeeze it after we dip it in egg or without.. ?
Freeze them after you cook them. Let them cool then freeze ?
Just wondering if these could be baked instead of fried?
Sure can!!
Just made and froze a batch of these for our childminder to give – would you let defrost gradually or microwave so warm? Wondering if they go soft & fall apart in the defrosting/microwaving process!
We just let them defrost overnight in the fridge ? then reheat once defrost… either in oven or microwave… they don’t fall apart this way…
How long can we keep it in freezer
Up to 3months in freezer ?
Just wondering if you could make these with a butternut squash instead of sweet potato? I have a squash that I need to use up! x
Sure can! X
Silly question is the sweet potatoes raw when grated? ??♀️
Yes it is ? it cooks super quick when frying the fritters x
raw 🙂
What other veg could you use this same method with?
carrot, zucchini, eggplant, you name it x
I might have missed this in the directions, but at what temperature do you fry them? Looking forward to making them for my 9 month old!
On a stove top on medium to high temp.
Just made these with 2 flax eggs instead and they seemed to bind together well, if anyone’s wondering!
Awesome to hear! thank you for sharing xx
Wondering if you can use egg replacement for these and the zucchini fritters?
try flax meal egg as a egg replacement.
Thanks for the inspiration 🙂 We usually make fritters with sweet potato in a sweet way (with apple and banana), but I will definately try this taste, maybe baked. Cheers 🙂
thanks for your lovely comment.
