SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

1 lb. sweet potatoes or yams
1 egg
2 tbsp. flour
Plus flour for coating
1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. nutmeg

Sweet Potato Croquettes

INGREDIENTS:

6 small sweet potatoes, peeled cooked until tender, mashed
2 tablespoons butter
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
marshmallows, regular size
cornflake crumbs
oil for deep frying

PREPARATION:
Season the mashed sweet potatoes with the butter, sugar, cinnamon and salt. Shape into balls around each marshmallow, making sure marshmallow is completely covered. Chill for 3 to 4 hours. Roll croquettes in cornflake crumbs and fry in hot oil, approximately 370°.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately.
Serves 4.

Answer 2

A simple Tempura batter will work.

1 egg
1 cup ice water
1 cup all purpose flour
PREPARATION:

Add iced water gradually, stirring and blending well.
Add flour all at once, stir BRIEFLY; that is well enough to coat but leave the lumps and bumps!
To fry vegetables heat a large frying pan with a half-inch oil (or more if necessary) and heat on high.
Coat selected large vegetables in batter and fry for a minute or two on each side.

Answer 3

1 c. sifted flour
1 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
1 egg, lightly beaten
1 c. milk
2 tbsp. oil
1 lb. sweet potatoes, cut into sticks
Additional flour (optional)
Oil for deep frying


Sift flour with baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Combine egg, milk, and 2 tablespoons oil. Slowly add to dry ingredients, beating until smooth. Pat sweet potato sticks very dry and if desired dredge lightly in flour. Dip pieces, one at a time, in batter. Fry in deep oil heated to 375 degree until golden brown, 1-2 minutes. Drain on paper towels. Sprinkle with more salt, if desired.
