Sweet Potato & Carrot Fritters

                                                                                                                                        Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 40 minutes

1 ½ pounds sweet potatoes, peeled & grated (5 cups grated)
3 large carrots, peeled & grated
½ cup grated yellow onion
6 tablespoons flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon ground ginger
¼ teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt to taste
2 eggs, beaten 
6-9 tablespoons vegetable oil
Garnishes: chopped chives, yogurt/sour cream

---

1. Combine grated sweet potatoes, carrots, and onion in a bowl. Squeeze out as much liquid as possible. Transfer to a large bowl and add flour, spices, baking powder, salt, and eggs, and gently fold together. Add more flour if needed. You want the batter to be a little dry. The drier the batter, the crispier the fritter.
2. In a heavy-bottomed pan over medium-high heat, add ¼ inch of oil. Once oil is hot use a healing tablespoon to drop potato/carrot mixture into the hot pan.Cook in batches to avoid overcrowding. Use a spatula to flatten fritters into rounds. Once the edges are brown & crispy, flip. Cook the second side until golden.
3. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate, sprinkle with salt. Serve warm with garnish of your choosing.
