It was a lazy Saturday afternoon and I was craving for something to eat. I checked in my fridge and found a large sweet potato. Instead of simply frying it, I tried to be creative and did a little twist in my simple lazy snack ;)
Sweet Potato Tots or some called it croquettes, can be mixed with other ingredients to burst with more flavor. Adding-up some available ingredients could really make a big difference to a simple dish. So, go check your kitchen now and be creative in making something new out of ordinary.
Ingredients:
- 1 large sweet potato - grated
- black ground pepper
- 1/4 cup + 1/2 cup for coating - breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup cooked bacon bits
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese - grated
- oil
Procedure:
- Peel and wash the sweet potato.
- Grate the sweet potato.
- Microwave the grated sweet potato for a minute and let in cool. Squeeze it by batch to remove liquid.
- Season with black ground pepper.
- Add 1/4 cup breadcrumbs.
- Add bacon bits.
- Add Parmesan cheese.
- Add 2 eggs.
- Mix it all together.
- Form the mixture in to a golf ball size mold.
- Roll in to the breadcrumbs.
- Do the same until you finish all the mixture.
- Heat oil in a pan with low heat. Put the tots in the pan.
- Let it fry for 5 minutes each side or until golden brown.
- Serve and enjoy! (Ketchup or Mayonnaise for dipping sauce)
