Makes about 18 the size that I use. These are so good. I have no idea how long I have been doing this recipe.It's been a longggggg time. Ingredients:
peanut oil for frying |
1 pound sweet potatoes -- peeled & cut in 1/2 |
1/2 cup flour |
1 egg -- beaten |
salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste |
Directions:
1. Salt and freshly ground black pepper - to taste
2. In a heavy saucepan or fryer, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 °.
3. Grate the sweet potatoes into medium-sized bowl, cover them with
4. boiling water and let them stand for 15 minutes.
5. Drain off the water and slowly add the flour, egg, salt and pepper,
6. stirring to make sure that they are well mixed.
7. You should have a thickish paste that will hold its shape when picked up in a tablespoon. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit of warm water. If it is too thin, add a bit more flour.
8. Drop the mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, into the hot oil and
9. cook the fritters for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface,
10. turning them once to make sure that they are slightly browned on
11. each side. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.
