Easy Paleo Sweet Potato & Bacon Breakfast Fritters

simple paleo recipe for sweet potato fritters

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!
