Sweet potato is one of those foods that you can do so much with. You can make them the old fashioned way of roasting, baking and frying. You can also add them to other recipes for moisture and sweetness. I had some leftover roasted sweet potatoes I had done with coconut oil that had a real nice sweetness to them. I decided to make these fritters and the end result was really yummy and full of flavor. This recipe is gluten free, paleo friendly and can be vegan…you can take out the egg.

Healthy and fresh…what more can you ask for? This is perfect for a light dinner, or filling lunch. I used Greek Yogurt which has a higher protein content than most yogurts so this would be great after a good workout.
