Sweet Potato Fritters + Turmeric Dipping Sauce

This Sweet Potato Fritters + Turmeric Ginger Dip recipe is brought to you by The Whole Smiths in partnership with NFL Fan Style. These delicious fritters are gluten-free and Whole30 compliant. Not only do you get a winning recipe, but I’m also going to show you how you can indulge and still have an amazing Super Bowl LII experience with a healthy twist.

In my opinion there’s four total reasons to watch the Super Bowl every year and everybody is bound to watch the Super Bowl for one of those reasons. First we have the game. Obviously. Even if your team isn’t in it (#niners2018), it’s always a great game to watch. Second, we have the Halftime Show and who doesn’t love them a little JT. In fact, Justin is the only boy bander to exist that guys actually love too. Seriously, who doesn’t love JT*. Next we have the commercials and if you want to be able to join your friends in their water cooler talk the next day, you better pay attention to those. And finally, if the other three reasons haven’t hooked you, there’s the food.

Super Bowl and food go together like Gronk and touchdown spikes. Like, Deion Sanders and touchdown dances. Fortunately for all of you food lovers out there, you don’t need to choose between healthy or non-healthy delicious food to enjoy during your game because I have the key to enjoying yourself and still maintaining your healthy eating patterns.

First, things first. What to do if everyone on game day is having a classic beer but it’s not really what you’re into these days? The thing is, you’re probably still wanting something festive to sip on during the game. Not only are mocktails always a great option but I love pouring a kombucha into whatever fancy glass or stein is available. Martini glass? I’m not picky. These days I’m also into Golden Milk Lattes as well, so if you’re heading to a friend’s house to watch the game, feel free to pour it into a giant traveler to-go. My absolute favorite one, EVER is here.

And you cannot forget the ginormous selection of flavored sparkling waters these days. You literally cannot its them, every grocery store in the world now has a giant display of them now when you walk in. In fact, feel free to bring a case to share with everyone! Everyone else is sure to need some extra hydration anyways. With the huge assortment of clean, low sugar beverages on the market today there’s no reason you can’t find a festive, health conscious beverage.

Now let’s move on to munchies. You know, munchies. The things we sit and mindlessly eat throughout the entire game while we watch an array of hilarious commercials for more munchies?? Those munchies. Let’s talk about some things we can eat in place of things like chips, pretzels, candy etc. if we’re going to munch. First, I’m going to suggest my Pizza Kale Chips. You can whip a batch of these up in no time and they’ll actually fill you up with nutritious-y stuff rather. Or you can try out my Delicata Squash Chips + Dip as well. Both are bound to be hits. Some other quick munchie fixes include dried mango, pistachios (my favorite are the salt and pepper ones), popcorn, or if you’re really jones-ing for some chips search for ones that are friend in avocado or coconut oil.

And finally on to bigger and better things. Throughout this year I’ve shared some killer football sacks like my Peach + Jalapeño Chicken Wings and Patatas Bravas with Garlic Aioli and you’ve loved both. But to that mix I’m now adding these Sweet Potato Fritters + Turmeric Ginger Dipping Sauce. I’m slightly embarrassed to tell you how hard I wolfed these down after I was done photographing them. Hey, don’t judge. I hadn’t eaten lunch that day and had a killer work out in the morning, so there.

These are super easy to make but just as a heads up, be delicate while flipping them. I like to use a thin spatula to get under the fritter in order to flip it. Also, be sure not so crown your cooking surface with fritters as it makes it difficult to flip it without destroying it. I typically fry up 4-5 at a time.

All right guys, with that I think you’re set on a health(ier) Super Bowl this year!

Sweet Potato Fritters + Turmeric Ginger Dipping Sauce

These Sweet Potato Fritters + Turmeric Ginger Dip are brought to you by The Whole Smiths. These delicious fritters are gluten-free and Whole30 compliant and perfect for your football watching!

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sweet potatoes baked
  • 1 teaspoon ghee of coconut oil
  • 1/2 medium sweet onion finely chopped
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/4 cup + 1 tablespoon potato starch
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1 [3/4] teaspoons salt
  • 1/4 cup coconut oil add more if necessary for frying if pan gets dry
  • 1/2 cup 30-Second Mayonnaise
  • 2- inch section of fresh turmeric grated with a rasp (or substitute 1 teaspoon ground turmeric)
  • 1- inch section of fresh ginger grated with a rasp (or substitute 1/2 teaspoon ground ginger)
  • 2 teaspoons unsweetened almond milk
  • 1 teaspoon honey omit for Whole30
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 425* F. Wrap each sweet potato in aluminum foil and place on a baking sheet and bake for 45 minutes until the sweet potatoes are tender and cooked through. The time may vary depending on size of sweet potatoes.
  • While the sweet potatoes are baking, add 1 teaspoon of coconut oil or ghee to a frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot add the chopped onions to the pan and cook for 7-8 minutes until the onions are tender are lightly browned on the edges. Add the garlic to the pan, stir and cook for an additional minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  • Remove the skin from the baked sweet potatoes while still hot (but cool enough that you can handle them). Add the sweet potato flesh to a large bowl along with the cooked onions and garlic, potato starch, eggs, and 1[1/2] teaspoons of salt. Stir to combine well.
  • Add 1/4 cup coconut oil to a large frying pan or dutch oven and heat over medium heat. Once the oil is hot spoon about 2 tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture into the frying pan. Repeat, careful not to crowd the fritters as it will make them hard to flip. Cook on each side 2-3 minutes until they are lightly crisped and golden brown on the edges. Once done, remove and drain on a paper towel and transfer to a wire rack. You will need to do this in batches. Or feel free to have two frying pans / dutch ovens going at once to shorten the time.
  • To make the dip add the mayonnaise, turmeric, ginger, almond milk, honey, and black pepper to a small bowl and stir to combine.
  • Serve dipping sauce along side fritters.

    Hey Michelle! A bit off topic here but I must ask—
    Help? I used to use turmeric here and there when I first started eating real foods but now turmeric tastes like garden soil to me! Arrrggg. I just can’t… do you know any reason behind such a thing taking place? And oregano-even the smell makes me have a physical reaction. I know, weird! Any input is appreciated!

    Do you think tapicoa or arrowroot flour could be subbed for potato starch?

    Looks delicious! Is there anything I could swap out for the potato starch? I don’t have any and I’d rather not buy some since I don’t have any other recipes planned that use it. I have tapioca flour, almond flour, coconut flour…would any of those work? Thanks!

Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold Legit all I seem to be craving these days are cold salads. Like ice cold.  Like this Thousand Island Wedge Salad. 🥰  I love me a wedge salad but sometimes hate that it doesn’t feel like a complete meal... so I changed it up a bit and added some egg for protein. And bacon because... bacon!  What do you think? Are you in salad season yet or still on soup season?  Recipe at the link in my profile.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/thousand-island-dressing-wedge-salad/
Time truly does fly. ❤️ It feels just yesterd Time truly does fly. ❤️  It feels just yesterday I took this picture. People warn you that time flies, don’t wait till the end to realize they were right.  Enjoy the now. Let love in and share yours.

These Cherry Bourbon Chocolate Truffles will make These Cherry Bourbon Chocolate Truffles will make you feel like the world’s finest chocolatier... or Lucy in the scene where’s there’s chocolate everywhere and she’s stuffing ‘em in her bra.  Either way, they’re delicious and actually supper easy to make.  Besides, we all know the only way to say “I love you” and mean it is with some chocolate and a cheesy card. At least it’s not Palmer’s. ☺️  Ok really though, these truffles are the shizzzz. In fact, just make them for yourself and share them with no one.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cherry-bourbon-chocolate-truffles-recipe/
I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now I know it’s all about Brady and Gronk right now (blah) but here’s a throwback to when @thepetitepanaderya and I got to be a part of the SB Halftime field team crew in 2016.  It has always been on my bucket list to be on the field for the Halftime show, so when SB was here in Santa Clara, I was going to find a way.  I saw you could sign up to be a part of the field team that puts together the stage so I signed up. It was two weeks of practicing and they paid us minimum wage, although I would have done it for free.  A few hundred people were part of it and we were each assigned to a “cart”. We were taught exactly what to do, how to assemble the various parts of the stage and QUICK. It all had to be put together in around 7 minutes.  We weren’t allowed to have any cell phones out during practices and signed confidentiality waivers. The second week we got to watch the performers rehearse (over and over again). JayZ and Blue Ivy were in the stands watching. Bruno Mars was perfection and nailed everything every time. I was blown away at how talented he was live. Chris Martin was so kind. Beyoncé drove in front of us in her golf cart and waved. She also made us wait in the freezing cold while she tried different hair and fan / wind blowing situations.  Game day. There was a staging area a few miles away that we met at and we were bussed in with police escorts down the 101.  Once at the stadium we hung out with our carts waiting our turn. Everyone was so pumped. As SOON as the second quarter ended it was go time and the adrenaline was pumping. Seriously, that feeling was awesome.  Lucky for us, once we finished building our cart we had wait on the sidelines... right in front.  The energy was intense and I loved every minute of it.  Bigger picture, seeing how everyone worked together flawlessly to create the performance was striking. I’ve never experienced teamwork like this and never thought it would be such an impactful experience.  It was one of the BEST things I’ve ever done as silly as it sounds. Everyone who does it city after city says the same thing.  If you ever have the chance and find the SB in your town, do it. Trust me.
Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone? While some (most) p Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS anyone?  While some (most) people are likely to be shoveling Cool Ranch Doritos down the batch tomorrow... we’ll be whipping up a batch of these Cool Ranch CHICKPEAS!  Yeah, I know. It’s kind of obnoxious because Cool Ranch Doritos are the sh^%. But these at least give you that same zesty flavor and way more than nutrients. I’m kinda obsessed!  Or just eat the Doritos. 🤷🏼‍♀️  While we’re talking chips? What’s your fave? I think mine are the Cool Ranch Doritos.. what can I say...  Now I’m feeling like I sold you on the Doritos rather than the chickpeas! Whoops.  Anyways. Recipe for the CHICKPEAS in my bio.  https://www.thewholesmiths.com/cool-ranch-roasted-chickpeas/

Stating the obvious. I’d also like to propose Stating the obvious.  I’d also like to propose a few things moving forward.  Some things I’d like to add into our next relief package. Parents who have had children get double. Distance learning, triple.  1. Home repair reimbursements. Paint, chipped tiles, destroyed furniture all included.  2. A 4 day weekend alone to a tropical destination for each parent. Not to mention, that helps boost the struggling travel economy. Double win!  3. Covid makeovers to whoever would like it. The stress our inept politicians have put on us have clearly aged me about 15 years and I think they should have to handle that. Perhaps all of their “consulting” fees can be used to fund this. This would also double as a great reality show. Post pandemic transformation. I’m happy to host!  4. Restaurant vouchers because we have all done enough cooking. If you still can’t cook a chicken breast or bake some bread at this point, you failed 2020. You will have to prove you now know how to cook for this one. And again, double whammy as it helps restaurants.  Yep. I think that’s it’s for now. What would you add to the list? 👇🏼
