Hungry for a hearty paleo breakfast and have a little extra time to whip up something special?
Let me introduce you to these golden sweet potato fritters spiked with crunchy bacon – a real paleo treat to satisfy your hungry morning crew.
There’s really nothing hard at all about this bodacious breakfast side. A little potato grating is the only halfway serious prep required. The rest is just a little mixing, and then a quick trip to the skillet.
My only tip for this one is to avoid crowding your frying pan. Cook these in small batches – three fritters at a time will probably work best for you. That will leave you enough room to get your spatula in there and give them a flip without running into problems. Cook these around three minutes per side, or until the potatoes are tender and have a nice golden crust.
Serve with eggs any style and enjoy!
Hope you enjoy this easy paleo breakfast recipe, and as always, let me know what you think in the comments section below the recipe! [av_sidebar widget_area=’Lockerdome’ av_uid=’av-ifwsgu’]
Fry bacon pieces, stirring to cook. Remove with slotted spoon and set on paper towels to drain. Leave bacon fat in pan
Peel and grate sweet potatoes. Place the shredded raw sweet potatoes in a medium size mixing bowl
Add fried bacon pieces, chopped scallions, 2 whisked eggs, 3 Tbsp coconut flour, and salt and peper as desired to the bowl. Mix everything together well to combine
To form the fritters, first scoop up the mixture using a 1/4-cup measuring cup for each fritter. Next place each scoop on some parchment paper, and gently flatten with spatula until each fritter is about 3/4" in thickness
Add about 1/4 cup of olive oil to the skillet with the remaining bacon fat to form a shallow layer of oil that covers the entire bottom of the pan. Heat skillet to Medium-Low
Cook only 3-4 fritters at a time in the heated skillet. Cook each about 3 minutes per side, or until potatoes have cooked through and they develop a slight golden-brown color. Remove fritters and set on paper towel drain.
Serve warm with fried or scrambled eggs. Enjoy!

Had anyone tried these with leftover baked sweet potatoes?
My daughter and I loved these fritters. I had mine with an egg over easy, and it was delicious and filling. My daughter had hers with scrambled eggs and ketchup, and thought they were wonderful. We’ll definitely makes these fritters again. The recipe was also lots easier to make than I thought, and I was impressed how well the fritters held together when I cooked them. Great recipe!
This was the most delicious breakfast I’ve had in quite awhile! These fritters taste amazing and I can feel so good about it following my AIP! Thank you so much!!
Hi there! These look delicious! My son, and myself, both have many food restrictions and egg being one of them. Do you have any ideas on an egg substitute? It’s been so hard finding yummy breakfast items he will actually like. He is my “meat and potatoes” teenager and he misses his “normal breakfasts”. :(
Hi: This looks yummy and definitely worth trying. Looks easy. Sort of healthier more creative potato latkes. I love bacon but tend to stay away from it and use turkey bacon which is less fat… I don’t see any reason why this cannot be made with turkey bacon instead and still be delicious. Agree?
These paired perfectly with a spicy mayo dipping sauce and a couple of crispy fried eggs. Thanks for a great recipe!
Thank you Donna!I love your idea of a spicy mayo dipping sauce. Yum!
I just love all of your recipes!
