Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Start by shredding the sweet potatoes and collard greens using a food processor until finely shredded. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
  2. In the bowl with the shredded veggies, add chopped onion, minced garlic, all-purpose flour, cornstarch, baking powder, and club soda. Stir gently until all ingredients are well incorporated into a thick batter.
  3. Pour about 1/4 inch of vegetable oil into a large skillet and heat over medium-high heat. Allow the oil to heat for about 5 minutes.
  4. Using a spoon or a small scoop, carefully place dollops of the fritter batter into the hot oil and fry for about 3-5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
  5. While the fritters are frying, prepare the dipping sauce by mixing equal parts Greek yogurt and mayonnaise in a small bowl. Add grated garlic, lemon juice, and a pinch of salt.
  6. Once the fritters are golden brown, remove them from the skillet and let them drain on paper towels. Serve warm alongside the dipping sauce.
