Ingredients

Preparation

  1. Use cooked mashed sweet potato and finely chopped cooked spinach, squeezed to remove excess water. Mix with the egg until combined.

  2. Spoon small, thin fritters into a lightly oiled nonstick pan over low to medium-low heat.

  3. Cook on both sides until completely set in the centre with no wet egg mixture. Cool and check the texture before serving.

Serving by Age

Make small, thin fritters; thick ones can brown outside while remaining wet inside. Cook until fully set, check the centre and offer soft pieces sized for your child's skills after cooling. Avoid hard browned edges.
