Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 2 cups of grated sweet potatoes
- 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup of cornmeal
- 1 teaspoon of baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon of salt
- 1/2 teaspoon of paprika
- 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper
- 1/4 cup of chopped green onions
- 1/4 cup of milk
- 1 egg
- Vegetable oil for frying
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of grated sweet potatoes, 1/2 cup of all-purpose flour, 1/4 cup of cornmeal, 1 teaspoon of baking powder, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of paprika, 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 cup of chopped green onions.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of milk and 1 egg. Pour the wet ingredients into the sweet potato mixture and stir until well combined.
