Do you ever get stuck in a cooking rut, spinning out the same old recipes week to week? I think we all do at some point. It’s understandable though. It can be difficult to sway from your tried and true recipes that you know everyone loves. But when dinner starts to get boring it’s time to change things up.
The great thing about these Sweet Potato Fritters is not only do they give new life to the same old boring Sweet Potato Recipe they’re so Easy To Make! Seriously! Grate up a couple of sweet potatoes, mix in a few simple ingredients and brown them in your skillet. That’s it! A quick and easy recipe that’s ready in minutes!
The Sweet Potato Fritters were pretty incredible on their own but the Mango Salsa and Honey Lime Sour Cream really gave them the “Wow Factor”! The combination of flavors really worked so well together. I added a bit of cayenne to my fritters to give them a little bit of heat. The Mango Salsa and Honey Lime Sour Cream were the perfect sweet and cooling companion to go with them.
This recipe really made me think of Grammy. She would have absolutely loved these! Though she would have probably called them Sweet Potato Latkes. They’re pretty much the same thing so you can call them what you like. Whatever name you give them the end result is the same. Delicious!
Grammy was always making some kind of potato pancake, patty, fritter or potato pizza crust. She worked magic with left overs. If we had left over mashed potatoes she would just mix them up with an egg, some flour and seasoning, form them into patties and brown them. They were so delicious you didn’t even feel like you were eating left overs.
So this recipe is brought to you in memory of Grammy! The woman who really knew how to make potatoes and left overs incredible!
