Ingredients

• 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 500 g), peeled and diced
  
  

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
  
  

• 2 large eggs
  
  

• 4 green onions, diced
  
  

• Salt and pepper, to taste
  
  

• Vegetable oil, for frying
  
  

• 1 cup cranberry sauce (store‑bought or homemade)
  
  

Directions

1. Boil the diced sweet potatoes in salted water until fork-tender—about 15 minutes. Drain well.
   
   

2. Mash the cooked sweet potatoes in a large bowl until smooth.
   
   

3. Stir in the flour, eggs, diced green onions, salt, and pepper. Mix just until combined; be careful not to overmix to keep the batter light and fluffy.
   
   

4. Heat vegetable oil in a skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Spoon dollops of batter into the skillet and fry fritters until golden brown on each side—about 3–4 minutes per side.
   
   

5. Drain the fritters on paper towels to remove excess oil. Serve warm, with cranberry sauce drizzled on top or set on the side as a dip.
