South African Sweet Potato Fritters

Categories: New text im, Cooking liv
Yield: 1 Servings

Peanut oil for frying
1 lb Sweet potatoes, peeled
1/2 c Flour
1 Egg, beaten
Salt and freshly ground
-black pepper, to t

Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy saucepan or fryer to 375 degrees.

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 remaining ingredients, 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.

Yield: 6 to 8 serving
