{Whole30} Smoky Sweet Potato Fritters with Cashew Cream - The Not So Creative Cook
Crispy and smoky sweet potato fritters with only three ingredients, and then served with citrusy cashew cream that gives extraordinary taste to the fritters Among friends and family, I love anything sweet the most. Of all the people I’ve been close to or worked with, I never met someone like me who loves sweets like I do. That changed until I met my new colleague: *new colleague makes tea* Do you have sugar? Me: Um, yes! *handed over the container with sugar* *new colleague puts sugar in her mug* Me: *very shocked* No way!! You didn’t just put 6 teaspoons of sugar in that small mug!! *new colleague LOL* I love very sweet things! That was totally crazy! Oh, wait… Does any of you consume that much of sugar in one small mug with one tea bag?? My boss knows that I love anything sweet, too. In fact, he gave me a small box of Baklavas! It was insane coz I was doing the Whole30 that time and it has only been two weeks. It was my fourth month, but I just can’t mess it up! Well, I’ve thought of taking a bite and convince myself that ‘Nah, it’s just a bite. It won’t hurt.’ I’ve fought very hard seeing that box in front of me for the whole afternoon. As soon as I arrived home, I placed the box in the fridge. And yeah, I survived the temptation. Bravo, Jhuls! Yourself is so proud of you! Soooo, for a person who has a sweet tooth like me, it is kinda difficult to do the Whole30 without having anything sweet. Thanks to sweet potatoes. Aside from the lovely sweet potatoes, I love munching on cashew nuts, too. I had sweet potatoes that have begun sprouting and I am a huge fan of sweet potatoes-smoked paprika relationship, so why not make something really good?? Add arrowroot starch and I am all set for my snack. Um, how about the ‘sauce’? I was lazy to make mayo and my ketchup is not Whole30 compliant so I had to check from my BFF Google what can I do? I came across with citrus cream and found out that it uses cashew nuts. No questions asked, no doubt – I should make it! The citrus cashew cream gave a very nice taste when eaten with the sweet potato fritters. Imagine sweet and citrusy. It’s like a sweet potato lemonade. Um, is that a thing?? I had one problem which was the cashew cream not turning into a very smooth cream coz I used a regular blender. I think this is an excuse for me to get a high powered blender. What do you think? Going back to these beauties, they are absolutely heaven! I’ve made eight from the recipe below and all went to my happy tummy! I am bringing these at Fiesta Friday #189.
