👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a large bowl, combine the grated sweet potato and mashed ripe bananas.
- 2
In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt.
- 3
Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined. The batter should be thick but spoonable. Add milk a tablespoon at a time if needed to reach the desired consistency.

- 6
Fry for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Use a slotted spoon to turn them.

Remove the fritters from the oil and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- 8
Serve warm, dusted with powdered sugar or drizzled with honey, if desired.
💡 Conseils de pro
- ✓Use very ripe bananas for the best flavor and sweetness.
- ✓Ensure the oil is at the correct temperature; too low and the fritters will be greasy, too high and they will burn before cooking through.
- ✓Grate the sweet potato finely for a smoother texture in the fritters.
