Pat dry., In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, flour, baking powder, cornstarch, seasoned salt and harissa. Add the sweet potatoes and onion; toss to coat., In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons coconut oil over medium heat.

Drain on paper towels. Serve with queso fresco, and optional ingredients as desired.

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Grate the peeled sweet potato and place into a large bowl.
• Add the crushed garlic, onion flakes, grated zucchini, tasty cheese, parmesan cheese to the bowl with the grated sweet potato and add the self raising flour before stirring well to combine.
• Beat the eggs in a small bowl lightly with a fork and add salt and pepper to taste. Add the eggs along with 1/4 cup of water to the bowl with the sweet potato mixture and stir. Gradually add the extra water and stir until you have a thick batter - please note you may not need all of the water depending on the size/water content of the sweet potato and zucchini that you used.
• Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over a medium to high heat and use a 1/4 measuring cup to scoop up the batter and place the fritter mixture into your pan. Use a spoon to gently spread the mixture into a circle between 1/2cm - 1cm thick. You should be able to fit approximately six fritters (or even more depending on the size of your pan) into your frying pan.
• Cook the Sweet Potato Fritters for 5 minutes on each side until they are crisp and golden brown before transferring to a plate and covering them with foil so they stay warm while you cook the next batch. Repeat until all the fritters have been cooked.

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 200°F. Line an oven-proof plate or baking sheet with paper towels. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and squeeze or press them dry if necessary; you want 3 packed cups; save the rest for later.
• Combine the grated sweet potato, flour, cornmeal, onion, egg, and sprinkle of salt and pepper and mix well with a fork. If the mixture looks too liquid, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. (You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate for up to a couple of hours before cooking.)
• Put 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of sweet potato into the pot. (Work in batches to avoid crowding the pot.)
• Cook turning them with tongs or a slotted spoon as necessary so they brown on all sides, until they're cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the finished fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and put it in the oven to keep warm while you make the rest. Serve hot or at room temperature, with more salt and pepper if you like.
• Cooks' Notes
• Drying Grated Vegetables: Put them into a strainer over a bowl or just squeeze them between your hands.
• Heating Oil for Deep Frying: To use a thermometer for deep frying, clip it on the side of the pot and make sure the tiny hole that registers the temperature isn't touching the pot. If you don't have a thermometer, use a pinch of cornmeal or flour to test when the oil is ready for frying: It should sizzle immediately but not burn.
• Putting the Fritters in the Oil: To minimize splattering, hold one spoon close to the oil and scrape the batter into the oil with another spoon.
• Recognizing Doneness: The fritters should be golden on the outside and soft but not wet in the middle. Check inside-you should still be able to tell the sweet potatoes were grated.
