1/2 lb Sweet potato
1 1/2 ts Fresh ginger -- peeled, minced
2 ts Fresh lemon juice
1/4 ts Dried hot red pepper flakes
1/4 ts Salt
1 lg Egg
5 tb All-purpose flour
Vegetable oil -- for deep-frying
Peel and grate coarse the sweet potato. In a food processor chop fine
the grated sweet potato with the ginger, lemon juice, red pepper
flakes, and salt. Add the egg and flour, and blend the mixture well.
In a large saucepan heat 1-1/2" of the oil over moderately high heat
to 360°F on a deep-fat thermometer, drop tablespoons of the
sweet-potato mixture into the oil in batches, and fry the fritters,
turning them, for 2 minutes, or until they are golden. Transfer the
fritters to paper towels to drain.
Makes about 18 small fritters, serving 2 as an hors d'oeuvre.
