Chad: Sweet Potato Fritters with a Cinnamon Honey Sauce

I love hashbrowns, and I love them even more when they're made with sweet potato.

I'm not sure what it is about sweet potato, but I do think they're absolutely excellent. There was one point a year or so ago that my partner and I would constantly have sweet potato fries, to the point where we actually got sick of them so stopped making them / ordering them. I think that some foods can be eaten in excess - and actually, I think if someone ate one type of food for every meal, they'd start to get completely fed up with it. I know I would.

Either way, I'm always excited to expand my sweet potato repertoire so I was excited to see that Chad had these sweet potato fritters. That being said, the original blog post I found this recipe from said that she couldn't find a reason as to why sweet potato fritters are so popular in Chad.

No biggie though, they're delicious no matter what.
