Food Town Sweet Potato Croquettes

Prep: 20 mins,
Chilling Time: 60 mins
Cook: 20 mins
Yield:14 croquettes

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Combine the mashed sweet potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, and brown sugar in a mixing bowl. Beat until smooth and well blended. Chill thoroughly for at least 1 hour.
  2. Shape the chilled mixture into round or oblong croquettes, using 2 heaping tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture per croquette. The colder the mixture, the easier it will be to shape.
  3. In a bowl, mix the slightly beaten egg with the water. Put the breadcrumbs in another bowl.
  4. Dip sweet potato croquettes into breadcrumbs, the beaten egg mixture, and the breadcrumbs again.
  5. In a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven, heat 2 inches vegetable oil to 365 F. Fry the croquettes in batches until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Drain well on paper towels, then serve.

*Note: Brown sugar can be left out or reduced if the leftover sweet potato dish contains sugar.
