18/09/2015 By Caralee 2 Comments

You had me at fritter! Who here doesn’t love a good fritter? These ones can be made for any meal of the day, I love them for breakfast or lunch on the weekend. They are lovely topped with a runny egg and side of bacon or served with a side salad, either way you are going to love them!

I really love bacon and leek as a combination and it works really well in these sweet potato fritters. These fritters keep well in the fridge for a few days and can be reheated, so if you have left over’s or make a larger batch you can have more the next day!
