Instructions
Peel sweet potatoes and grate them using the large hole of a grater.
Place grated sweet potatoes into a kitchen towel and squeeze out as much liquid as you can.
Place them into a large bowl, add grated Parmigiano Reggiano, salt, black pepper and set aside.
Preheat a non-stick pan at medium-low heat for few minutes.
Add about 2 tbsp of olive oil into the pan and heat for few mintues.
In a small bowl whisk the eggs with a pinch of salt and add into the grated potato mix: mix well and coat all the grated potatoes with the seasoning. Adding the eggs in the end, will prevent grated sweet potoates to become soggy.
Using a 5cm-2inch ice cream scooper, scoop potato mix into the preheated pan.
Using a scoop flatten and shape the fritters.
Place a lid on top and cook over medium-low heat for about 4-5 minutes or until the bottom becomes golden.
Flip the fritters and cook for about 4 minutes or until becomes golden.
Drain fritters onto frying paper or kitchen paper.
Serve immediately with fresh chopped spring onion on top and your favourite sauce.
