Ingredients
- 1 lb sweet potatoes peeled
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp sugar
- 1 tsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp baking powder
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 tsp curry powder
- 1 tsp cumin
- 1 pinch salt
- 1 pinch black pepper
- 2 whole large eggs beaten
- ½ cup milk add more if needed
- Peanut oil for frying
Instructions
- Grate the sweet potatoes coarsely. In a separate bowl mix the flour, sugar, brown sugar, baking powder, cayenne pepper, curry powder, cumin, and salt and pepper.
- Add the eggs and just enough milk to the dry ingredients to make a stiff batter. Add the potatoes and mix. The batter should be moist but not runny; if too stiff, add more milk.
- Heat 1/4 inch of peanut oil in a frying pan until it is barely smoking. Drop in the batter by tablespoons and flatten. Fry over medium-high heat several minutes on each side until golden. Drain on paper towels and serve.
