Sweet Potato Fritter Recipe
A delicious sweet potato fritter recipe that is easy and super delicious. The flavors of ginger, cinnamon and all spice really bring these fritters up a level.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 3 Medium sweet potatoes peeled and grated
- 2 Teaspoons fresh ginger
- 2 Eggs beaten
- 1 Cup All Purpose Flour
- 1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon All Spice
- ½ Teaspoon Salt
- Peanut Oil for Frying
Sweet Spicy Dip
- 1 Cup Mayonnaise
- ¼ Cup Light Corn Syrup
- 2 Teaspoons Sriracha Sauce
Instructions
- Grate the sweet potato into a large mixing bowl using the coarse side of a box grater.
- Beat the eggs then add to the potatoes.
- Add the ginger, flour, cinnamon, all spice and salt. Mix well.
- Add the peanut oil to a large skillet - it needs to be about ½" deep, and turn on heat.
- Form small 3" Patties from the sweet potato mixture.
- Once the peanut oil has heated to 350°F (if you don't have a thermometer you can check using a wooden spoon - if bubbles fizz around the wood then it's hot enough) drop half of the sweet potato fritters into the hot oil.
- Press down slightly on the fritters if you need them flatter.
- Cook for about 4-5 minutes on each side, this should bring them to having a beautiful golden brown color.
- Remove from the hot oil to a tray lined with paper towel and repeat with the remaining sweet potato fritters.
- Combine the mayonnaise, corn syrup and srirach sauce in a small dipping bowl and mix well.
- Serve the fritters next to the sweet and spicy dip.
