Peel and grate sweet potatoes into a large bowl.

Finely chop onions and add to the bowl with sweet potatoes.

Mix in flour, eggs, chopped parsley, salt, pepper, and nutmeg until well combined.

Heat oil in a deep skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

Scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and carefully drop them into the hot oil.

Fry until golden brown, about 3-4 minutes per side.

Remove fritters and drain on paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Serve warm, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
