Sweet Potato Fritter Stack | Paleo, Gluten-free

Want something different for breakfast or brunch? How about a sweet potato fritter? These pancake and waffle alternatives give you sweet and savory, creamy and delicious flavors in one bite. Paleo, gluten-free, and whole-family friendly, they also store well for a snack or meal the next day. Sweet potato fritters are better for you than traditional hashbrowns. Since we don’t use white potatoes in our diet, this substition works really well.

I add apple with the sweet potatoes to bring in a little sweet acidity that pairs really well with the bacon and maple syrup. You can certainly omit the bacon for a vegetarian option, if you still eat eggs. The baby arugula adds a touch of bitter to balance the sweetness of the syrup and yogurt. I prefer to top it with an over-easy egg as the creamy runny eggs melds everything together so well. Guaranteed winner!

Don’t want the “stack?” These sweet potato fritters are fine on their own with honey, maple syrup, sugar-free jelly or jam, or even greek yogurt.

Shredding the sweet potato not only allows it to cook more quickly, but allows you to add different complementary ingredients, such as shredded apple, and shape them together for cooking.
