SWEET POTATO TOTS WITH CILANTRO-LIME SAUCE RECIPE - (4.8/5)



Sweet Potato Tots with Cilantro-Lime Sauce Recipe - (4.8/5) image

Provided by davidv

Number Of Ingredients 17

Sauce:
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves, rough chopped
1/2 of a jalapeño pepper, stemmed, seeded, and minced
1 scallion, minced
1 Tbsp lime juice
1/2 tsp sugar
3-1/2 tsp salt, divided
3/4 tsp black pepper, divided
Tots:
2 medium-size sweet potatoes, peeled and cut in large pieces
1/4 cup flour, plus additional for rolling
1 tsp cornstarch
1 tsp chili powder
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
2 egg whites, beaten
Oil, for frying

Steps:

  • Combine the sour cream, cilantro, jalapeño, scallion, lime juice, sugar, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper in a small bowl. Refrigerate until ready to serve. Place the sweet potatoes in a medium-size saucepan. Cover with cool water and add 2 tsp salt. Bring the potatoes up to a boil over medium heat. Pierce the potatoes with a fork every 5-10 minutes until they feel slightly undercooked. Then, drain the water and let the potatoes cool in the pot. Meanwhile, combine the flour, 1 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp black pepper, cornstarch, and the chili powder in a large bowl and set aside. When the sweet potatoes have cooled, mash 1 piece of sweet potato and set it aside. Finely dice the rest of the potatoes. Carefully fold the mashed and diced sweet potatoes into the flour. The mixture should form a dough-like consistency when blended. Cut the sweet potato dough in half. On a floured surface, roll out 1 half of the dough into a 13-14" log that's about an inch in diameter. Repeat with remaining dough. Slice each log into small 1" x 1" logs. Preheat a deep fryer to 375°F. Place the egg whites and breadcrumbs in two small shallow dishes. Roll each tater tot in the egg whites and then dredge in the breadcrumbs. Place the tots on baking sheets that have been lined with a couple layers of paper towels. Fry the tater tots in batches of 6 until they're a deep golden brown, about 2 minutes. Serve with the dipping sauce.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, high-quality sweet potatoes.
  • Be sure to grate the sweet potatoes finely so that they cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the sweet potatoes by hand using a box grater.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sweet potato cakes, or they will become dry and crumbly.
  • Serve the sweet potato cakes immediately with your favorite dipping sauce.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato chili cakes with cilantro lime sauce are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be served as a main course with a side salad. The sweet potato cakes are crispy on the outside and soft and fluffy on the inside, and the cilantro lime sauce is the perfect complement to the sweet potatoes. If you are looking for a new and exciting way to enjoy sweet potatoes, you should definitely try this recipe.
