Delicious Gluten-Free Sweet Potato and Haloumi Fritters with tzatziki dip
These gluten-free sweet potato and haloumi fritters are all you want fritters to be – soft inside, crispy on the outside, and absolutely scrumptious!
According to Google Trends, fritter recipes are popular all year round. And is anyone really surprised that people are on the lookout for delicious fritter recipes? I am certainly not, because I love fritters.
My favorite is the original German vision – rosti with potatoes, sour cream, and smoked salmon, yum! But today I wanted to make something a little different and take it to another level. Fitters made with sweet potato and halloumi cheese, sooo good!
This recipe is extremely easy to prepare. However, I do recommend you have a good quality grater to grate the potatoes. Sweet potatoes are very firm and are not easy to grate if your grater is not sharp. If you cook a lot it is a good idea to invest in a good quality grater or a kitchen machine.
How to serve sweet potatoes and haloumi fritters?
My favourite part about fritters is that you can eat them at any time during the day. They make perfect breakfast or brunch with a poached or fried egg and a dollop of fresh yoghurt. They are also absolutely legitimate on the lunch or dinner table, served with a salad on the side.
So to wrap it up for today, this gluten-free recipe is a great addition to your recipe collection. Delicious, easy to make, and family-friendly. Don’t forget to pin it and if you made them let me know how you went in the comments below.
