Instructions
 

Cook the Sweet Potatoes: In a medium pot, bring water to a boil. Add the cubed sweet potatoes and cook until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.

    Mash and Combine: In a large mixing bowl, mash the cooked sweet potatoes with a fork or potato masher until smooth. Add in the corn kernels, flour, cornmeal, eggs, green onions, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix until fully incorporated, forming a thick batter.

      Shape the Fritters: Using your hands, form the mixture into small patties, about 2 to 3 inches in diameter. Place them on a plate or baking sheet.

        Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of oil over medium heat. Allow the oil to heat until it shimmers slightly.

          Fry the Fritters: Carefully add the patties to the hot oil in batches, taking care not to overcrowd the skillet. Fry for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer the fritters to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

            Assemble the Sliders: Slice the slider buns in half. On the bottom half, place a fritter, add a slice of avocado, and a handful of leafy greens. Drizzle with Sriracha sauce or aioli. Top with the other half of the bun.

              Serve and Enjoy: Serve the sliders warm with lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the top. Enjoy the delightful sweetness of the fritters paired with the creamy avocado and fresh greens!
