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.
