Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 medium sweet potatoes
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 0.25 teaspoons nutmeg
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 egg
- 0.25 cups vegetable oil
- 0.25 cups sugar (for coating)
Instructions
Peel and cube the sweet potatoes. Place them in a large pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and cook for 12-15 minutes or until fork-tender.
Drain the sweet potatoes and mash them in a large mixing bowl until smooth. Allow them to cool slightly.
Add the butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix thoroughly to combine.
Gradually stir in the flour, followed by the beaten egg, creating a soft dough-like consistency.
Divide the mixture into 8 equal portions. Form each portion into small patties, about 3 inches in diameter.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat until shimmering.
Carefully fry the sweet potato patties in batches, cooking for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
While the patties are still warm, coat them lightly in sugar by rolling each patty in a shallow dish of sugar to give them a sweet crust.
Serve warm as a delightful side or dessert, with optional caramel sauce or whipped cream for extra indulgence.
