Canola oil
1 large sweet potato (about 1 cup)
4 tablespoons melted salted butter

Cut sweet potato in half, scoop out the flesh, and place it into a mixing bowl with the butter. Mash well. Add egg, bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well.

Yield Serves 4-8

Number Of Ingredients 7

About 1 pound sweet potatoes
1/3 cup all-purpose flour, or more as needed
1/3 cup cornmeal
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1 egg, lightly beaten
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Vegetable oil for deep frying

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 200°F. Line an oven-proof plate or baking sheet with paper towels. Peel and grate the sweet potatoes and squeeze or press them dry if necessary; you want 3 packed cups; save the rest for later.
  • Combine the grated sweet potato, flour, cornmeal, onion, egg, and sprinkle of salt and pepper and mix well with a fork. If the mixture looks too liquid, add more flour, 1 tablespoon at a time. (You can make the batter ahead of time and refrigerate for up to a couple of hours before cooking.)
  • Put 2 inches of oil in a large pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, carefully drop spoonfuls of sweet potato into the pot. (Work in batches to avoid crowding the pot.)
  • Cook turning them with tongs or a slotted spoon as necessary so they brown on all sides, until they're cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes. Transfer the finished fritters to the paper towel-lined plate and put it in the oven to keep warm while you make the rest. Serve hot or at room temperature, with more salt and pepper if you like.
  • Cooks' Notes
  • Drying Grated Vegetables: Put them into a strainer over a bowl or just squeeze them between your hands.
  • Heating Oil for Deep Frying: To use a thermometer for deep frying, clip it on the side of the pot and make sure the tiny hole that registers the temperature isn't touching the pot. If you don't have a thermometer, use a pinch of cornmeal or flour to test when the oil is ready for frying: It should sizzle immediately but not burn.
  • Putting the Fritters in the Oil: To minimize splattering, hold one spoon close to the oil and scrape the batter into the oil with another spoon.
  • Recognizing Doneness: The fritters should be golden on the outside and soft but not wet in the middle. Check inside-you should still be able to tell the sweet potatoes were grated.

Tips:

  • To make sure the fritters are cooked evenly, make sure the oil is hot enough before adding the batter. The ideal temperature for frying is between 350°F and 375°F.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan when frying the fritters. This will cause the oil temperature to drop, resulting in soggy fritters.
  • Use a slotted spoon to carefully flip the fritters halfway through cooking. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Once the fritters are golden brown and crispy, remove them from the oil and drain them on paper towels to remove any excess oil.
  • Serve the fritters warm, dusted with powdered sugar or cinnamon sugar, and accompanied by your favorite dipping sauce, such as maple syrup, honey, or fruit compote.
