Instructions
- Combine the shredded sweet potato, thinly sliced leeks, sweet potato milk pulp, brown rice flour, salt, and spices in a bowl and mix well.
- Cover for 20 minutes to allow the natural waters in the raw sweet potato to draw out. If after 20 minutes the mixture is still too dry, add additional pulp 1 tablespoon at a time. If too wet, add more rice flour 1 tablespoon at a time. When the fritter mixture is ready to cook, it will stick to itself but will not be soaking with liquid.
- Preheat about 1 tablespoon of cooking oil like avocado or coconut oil in a large nonstick frying pan.
- Form fritters into small discs about ¼ inch thick using about a ¼ cup of mixture per fritter.
- Cook over medium heat for about 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Serve hot or at room temperature on their own or make a meal and serve over a bed of greens with a drizzle of cool non dairy yogurt, pinch of fresh herbs and squeeze of lemon.
