Curried Sweet Potato Fritters Recipes

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Score sweet potato with a fork and microwave on high for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool. Cut sweet potato in half, scoop out the flesh, and place it into a mixing bowl with the butter. Mash well. Add egg, bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well. Add the chives and corn and mix gently. Using 2 spoons to shape, scoop mounds into hot oil, cooking on both sides, in batches, until golden brown. With a slotted spoon or spider, remove fritters from oil and place on paper towel to dry. Mix sour cream, reserved chives, salt and pepper, to taste, and place a small dollop on each fritter when ready to serve.

CURRIED POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Prick the potatoes all over with a fork and microwave until tender, 8 to 10 minutes. Peel the potatoes, then transfer to a large bowl and mash with a fork until almost smooth. Mix in the cottage cheese, peas, curry powder, 2 tablespoons flour and 2 teaspoons salt. Let cool to room temperature. Heat about 2 inches vegetable oil in a heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 375 degrees F.
• Meanwhile, whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. Put 1 cup flour in another bowl and the panko in a third bowl. Form the potato mixture into about 24 golf ball-size portions, then gently flatten into 2-inch patties. Dredge each patty in the flour, shake off any excess, dip in the eggs, then dredge in the panko, turning to coat. Fry the patties in batches until golden, turning as needed, 1 to 2 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon. Serve with chutney. Photograph by Andrew Mccaul
