A different twist on a potato fritter using sweet potatoes with a bounty of flavor and spice, great as a side or main course. It brings you back to the flavors we have come to love from South America, spicy and earthy.

½ tsp Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp Himalayan Sea Salt
1 or 2 pinches of Cumin
2 Organic Eggs (lightly beaten)
3 to 4 tsp Coconut Oil (for cooking)

Add tapioca flour, almond flour, scallions, shallots, cayenne pepper, cumin and eggs. Mix together until nicely balanced and potatoes are nicely coated. Using mixture make into small patties about 4” in diameter.
Using a large skillet over medium heat add 2 to 3 Tbsp. of coconut oil, once oil is hot place patties in skillet.
