HOW TO MAKE IT

Let's cook.

01

Peel the sweet potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Steam the sweet potato cubes until very tender, about 10-12 minutes.

02

Transfer the steamed sweet potatoes to a large bowl and mash them thoroughly with a fork or potato masher until smooth.

03

Add 2 tablespoons of honey, all-purpose flour, cinnamon, and salt to the mashed sweet potatoes. Mix well until a soft dough forms.

04

Divide the dough into 8 equal portions and gently flatten each portion into a disc, about 1/2 inch thick.

05

Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Carefully place the sweet potato discs into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan.

06

Fry the fritters for 3-4 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and crispy. Adjust heat as needed to prevent burning.

07

Remove the fritters from the skillet and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil. Serve warm, drizzled with additional honey if desired.

Chef's Tips

For extra flavor, you can add a pinch of ginger powder to the sweet potato mixture. Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying to achieve a crispy exterior without making the fritters greasy.

Easy Substitutions

Maple syrup can be used instead of honey. For a gluten-free option, use a 1:1 gluten-free flour blend. You can also add a tablespoon of finely chopped nuts like walnuts or pecans to the mixture for added texture.
