Kwanzaa: Sweet Potato Fritters |
This is my families favourite recipe. Even if you are not celebrating Kwanzaa, this is a very nutritious snack for you to introduce to your child.
Ingredients
- 1 lb Sweet potatoes; peeled and coarsely shredded
- 3 large Eggs
- 3 tbsp Flour
- 1 small Onion; coarsely shredded
- Vegetable oil for frying
Directions
Spread potatoes and onion on clean dish towel; roll up, twisting towel to extract excess moisture from vegetables. In bowl, whisk eggs, flour, 1/2 t salt and 1/4 t pepper until smooth.
In large nonstick skillet, heat 1/4 cup oil over medium-high heat. Add vegetables to batter; mix. Spoon mixture into skillet, allowing heaping 1 T for each fritter; with back of spoon, flatten slightly. Fry, six fritters at a time, 4 minutes. Turn; cook 2 to 4 minutes. Drain on paper towels; keep warm while frying remaining fritters, adding more oil if necessary. Yield: 6-8 Servings
