Equipment

  • Mixing bowl
  • Grater
  • Skillet
  • Spatula
  • Measuring spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 small sweet potato peeled and grated
  • 1 apple peeled and grated
  • 1 egg
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • 1/4 tsp cinnamon optional
  • 1 tbsp olive oil for cooking

Instructions
 

  • Combine the ingredients: In a mixing bowl, stir together the grated sweet potato, apple, egg, flour, and cinnamon (if using). The mixture will be soft and slightly sticky—perfect for forming fritters.
  • Heat your skillet: Add the olive oil to a skillet over medium heat. Let it warm up for a minute until it shimmers slight
  • Scoop and flatten: Use a spoon to drop small portions of the batter into the skillet. Gently flatten each one to form mini fritters—your toddler might even enjoy helping shape them!
  • Cook until golden: Cook for 2–3 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Flip carefully with a spatula.
  • Cool and serve: Let the fritters cool slightly before serving. For babies under 1, skip the cinnamon and cut or mash the fritters into soft, safe pieces.

Notes

Storage Tips: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. To freeze, place cooled fritters on a tray until solid, then transfer to a freezer bag for up to 2 months.
Reheating: Warm gently in a skillet or toaster oven for best texture. Microwaving will soften them.
Baby Modifications: Finely grate or lightly mash the mixture for younger babies. Always test the texture before serving.
Allergy-Friendly Swaps: Use oat or almond flour for gluten-free; try a flax egg for egg-free versions.
Nutrition Boosters: Add a teaspoon of ground flaxseed, chia, or a pinch of hemp seeds to increase fiber and healthy fats.
