Directions

• Wash, peel, and grate sweet potato using the coarse section of a grater.
• Grate ginger using a fine grater or microplane.
• Place grated sweet potato, grated ginger, and egg in a medium to large mixing bowl. Add the flour, cinnamon, fennel, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Mix together thoroughly.
• Heat a shallow frying pan over medium heat for 2 - 3 minutes.
• Add oil to the hot pan so that it is about 1/4 deep.
• Shape fritters into patties about 1/2 deep and 2 - 3 inches across.
• Gently place fritters in oil, ensuring they are not touching each other or the sides of the pan.
• Fry for 2 -3 minutes on each side, adjusting time to achieve a light golden brown surface.
• Place on paper towels to drain and salt lightly while they are still hot.
• Combine mayo, honey, and sriracha in a small bowl. Whisk to smooth out any lumps.
• Serve fritters while still warm with the sriracha sauce for dipping.
