When I see a beautiful pumpkin in the shop, I can not just pass by, be sure I will buy it. Apparently, I still believe that the pumpkin can become a carriage. But because it is not, I have to cook something from that beauty. This time I baked the pumpkin and made fritters with sweet potatoes.

Pumpkin and sweet potato fritters

Ingredients:

• 1 sweet potato
• 1 small pumpkin (about 200 g)
• 2 eggs
• 4 tbsp breadcrumbs
• 100 g grated cheddar cheese
• 1 tsp thyme
• 1 tsp dried garlic
• salt to taste
• butter and vegetable oil for baking
• Sour cream for serving

Cooking method:

1. Clean the pumpkin from seeds and peel, cut into slices, put on oiled parchment paper and bake until soft for about 30-40 minutes.
2. Peel and grate sweet potatoes to a big bowl. Squeeze it a little.
3. Grind the pumpkin in a blender until smooth, add eggs, breadcrumbs and salt. Stir again in a blender.
4. Transfer the mixture to the potato. Add thyme and garlic, as well as grated cheese. Mix well.
5. Roll small balls from the vegetable batter, flatten slightly and put on a baking sheet covered with oiled baking paper.
6. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes at a temperature of 180C. Serve warm with sour cream.

Bon Appetit!
