Sweet Potato and Bacon Fritters

  • Serving Size6

    Ingredients

    • 6 bacon strips, cut into 1/2" pieces
    • 2 medium sweet potatoes, peeled
    • 3 scallions, chopped
    • 2 eggs, whisked
    • 3 T coconut flour
    • 1 tsp paprika (or your seasoning of choice)
    • Salt & pepper, to taste

    Directions

    1

    Fry bacon pieces, stirring to cook. Remove with slotted spoon and set on paper towels to drain. Leave bacon fat in pan.

    2

    Peel and grate sweet potatoes. Place the shredded raw sweet potatoes in a medium size mixing bowl.

    3

    Add fried bacon pieces, chopped scallions, 2 whisked eggs, 3 T coconut flour, and salt and pepper as desired to the bowl. Mix everything together well to combine.

    4

    To form the fritters, first scoop up the mixture using a 1/4-cup measuring cup for each fritter. Next place each scoop on some parchment paper, and gently flatten with spatula until each fritter is about 3/4″ in thickness.

    5

    Add about 1/4 cup of approved oil to the skillet with the remaining bacon fat to form a shallow layer of oil that covers the entire bottom of the pan. Heat skillet to Medium-Low.

    6

    Cook only 3-4 fritters at a time in the heated skillet. Cook each about 3 minutes per side, or until potatoes have cooked through and they develop a slight golden-brown color. Remove fritters and set on paper towel drain.

    7

    Serve warm with fried or scrambled eggs. Enjoy!
