Hello HIVE friends in this community, tonight I will share a recipe for sweet potato croquettes with very simple ingredients and does not contain many spices in it so it doesn't taste too heavy as a snack. In addition, it also tastes delicious, savory and a little natural sweet from the sweet potato itself.
The ingredients I need to make these sweet potato croquettes are:
1. 500 grams of sweet potato
2. 5 tablespoons of rice flour as a binder for the dough
3. ½ tablespoon of pepper, either black or white pepper
4. ½ tablespoon of salt
5. 3-4 cloves of shallots
6. 2 cloves of garlic
7. Celery leaves and spring onions, 1 stalk each (in this photo my celery leaves have started to turn yellow but I don't have any other celery and celery leaves are very important in the recipe I make without celery the taste of these croquettes will feel like something is missing but even though my celery turns yellow I make sure the leaves are not rotten)
How to make sweet potato croquettes
1. The first thing I do is peel the sweet potatoes first then I wash them until clean then cut them into several pieces so that the sweet potatoes cook quickly and more evenly
2. The next thing I do is boil the sweet potatoes until soft for about 10 minutes and while waiting for the sweet potatoes to cook I will grind the shallots and garlic and salt manually using a stone grinder so that no other water sources enter the smooth spices like when I use a blender.
3. Then after the sweet potatoes are soft, I only take the sweet potatoes and throw away the water, then I mash the sweet potatoes using a spoon
4. The next step after it is really soft I mix the rice flour
5. Then I add the black pepper
6. After that add the spices that have been smoothed earlier
7. Then add the celery leaves that I have thinly sliced before and stir all the ingredients until they are really even and no need to add water
8. The next step is I take a little bit of dough and then I flatten it slowly as seen in the picture. And do it until all the dough is used up
9. After that I heat the cooking oil with medium heat tending to low, after the oil is hot I put in the perekdel and after the color changes to golden brown then the cassava perkedel can be removed.
10. Do it repeatedly until the flattened dough runs out.
How very easy to make it right? If you like spicy taste then add chili to the dough. or you can follow the recipe but when enjoying this perkedel you can add chili sauce as a dip. Thank you for reading my writing and I really appreciate it. Greetings from me Tomi diwirja Indonesia
