How to Make Sweet Potato Fritters
- Peel and boil 1 lb of sweet potatoes until tender (approximately 15-20 minutes).
- Mash the cooked sweet potatoes thoroughly.
- In a large bowl, whisk together 2 large eggs. Add the mashed sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 teaspoon salt, and 2-4 tablespoons of water or milk until a soft, droppable dough forms.
- Shape the mixture into 1/2 inch thick, flat round cakes (about 12 fritters).
- Dip each fritter in the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, coat thoroughly in 1 cup breadcrumbs.
- Heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry the fritters in batches, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan, until golden brown and cooked through (approximately 3-4 minutes per side).
- Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a wire rack or paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
- Serve the sweet potato fritters hot as a delicious accompaniment to your favorite stew.
