2 weeks ago I harvested the yellow sweet potatoes that I planted next to my house and until now the sweet potatoes are still there, although there aren't many, and do you know that if sweet potatoes are just harvested and directly processed into food, the taste is not too sweet compared to if We wait a few days and then process it. You can compare the taste yourself later. From the sweet potato I will make sweet potato cakes which are soft on the inside but crunchy on the outside. Then we will get the bonus of the yellow color which is golden brown, very beautiful.
Making sweet potato fritters is also not difficult for me, because I don't use complicated ingredients, just use simple ingredients without additional flavorings and the taste is very good, especially when eaten warm, even when cold, these sweet potato fritters are still in a soft state and not hardened. I like it and I regret making a little of this sweet potato cake even though I boiled quite a lot of sweet potato, but when the sweet potato was cooked I actually ate the sweet potato.he..he
The ingredients I need to make these sweet potato cakes are:
- Sweet potato
The sweet potato that I use is approximately 500 grams - Wheat flour
Here I use a measuring cup and I use 1 glass of flour - Celery leaves
I used 2 stalks of celery leaves - Salt to taste
- Shallots
I only used 1 clove of red onion - Garlic
I used 1 clove of garlic to balance the taste of the shallots - Chili
Use chili according to your ability or you can also not use it and replace it with pepper - Pecan
I used 2 candlenut seeds
How to make :
1. Peel the sweet potato, then wash thoroughly and then boil until soft for about 10 minutes over medium heat, or you can check the degree of doneness using a fork and prick the sweet potato flesh.
2. Waiting for the sweet potato to cook, I will grind the ingredients, namely shallots, garlic, chilies and candlenuts and add salt, about ¼ teaspoon only. Mash until smooth
3. After that we can finely chop the celery leaves
4. After the sweet potato is cooked, drain and then mash until smooth. After that, add the flour, stir until everything is smooth, then add the ground spices and celery leaves and stir again until all the ingredients are well mixed.
5. After that, taste whether the taste is right or not, you don't need to be too salty, because the basic taste of sweet potato is also sweet so I want to get savory, spicy and sweet flavors at the same time.
6. After that, shape it into a circle using a fork, but I don't seem proficient yet, so I shape it according to my taste.
7. Fry over low heat and in hot oil
8. Fry until browned then remove and drain
9. You can enjoy sweet potato fritters
It's very easy to make, but my wife always monitors this because she's afraid my cakes won't work or they won't taste good. TIPS for the success of this recipe is not to add too much salt, even if the dough is still sweet to taste, that's okay, because when it's fried, the sweet taste will be covered with the spices. Good luck friends. greetings from me tomidiwirja, and I thank you for reading my post or recipe. Don't forget to keep following my next post, friends.
