Ingredients

How to make it

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper -- to taste
  • In a heavy saucepan or fryer, heat 2 inches of oil to 375 °.
  • Grate the sweet potatoes into medium-sized bowl, cover them with
  • boiling water and let them stand for 15 minutes.
  • Drain off the water and slowly add the flour, egg, salt and pepper,
  • stirring to make sure that they are well mixed.
  • 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.
  • Drop the mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, into the hot oil and
  • cook the fritters for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface,
  • turning them once to make sure that they are slightly browned on
  • each side. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.
