Best Sweet Potato Fritters With Chinese Sausage Recipes

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• In a shallow pan, heat oil to 350 degrees F.
• Score sweet potato with a fork and microwave on high for 6 minutes or until cooked through. Let cool. Cut sweet potato in half, scoop out the flesh, and place it into a mixing bowl with the butter. Mash well. Add egg, bread crumbs, flour, salt, and pepper and mix well. Add the chives and corn and mix gently. Using 2 spoons to shape, scoop mounds into hot oil, cooking on both sides, in batches, until golden brown. With a slotted spoon or spider, remove fritters from oil and place on paper towel to dry. Mix sour cream, reserved chives, salt and pepper, to taste, and place a small dollop on each fritter when ready to serve.

BROCCOLI WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• In a metal pie plate or heatproof flat dish set on a round metal rack in a wok or in a steamer steam the sausage, covered, over boiling water for 20 minutes, transfer it with tongs to a cutting board, and cut it diagonally into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Mound the sausage in a large shallow serving dish and keep it warm, covered, in a preheated 250 degree oven.
• In a heated wok heat the oil with the ginger and salt over high heat until the oil just begins to smoke, add the broccoli, and stir-fry the mixture for 2 minutes. Drizzle the wine around the edge of the wok, stir-fry the mixture for 1 minute, or until the broccoli is bright green and crisp-tender, and transfer it to the dish, arranging it around the sausage.

FRIED RICE WITH CHINESE SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil in a wok over high heat. Add the beaten eggs and fry until they are fully cooked. Transfer them to plate. Add the remaining oil, ginger, garlic, carrot, and celery, and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add the sausage and half of the scallions and cook for 1 minute. Add the cooked rice, soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Stir-fry until the rice is hot, about 2 minutes. Stir in the reserved eggs and transfer to a serving dish. Garnish with the remaining scallions and serve.

SOUTH AFRICAN SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat 2 inches of oil in a heavy saucepan or fryer to 375 degrees.
• Grate the sweet potatoes into medium-sized bowl, cover them with boiling water, and let them stand for 15 minutes. Drain off the water and slowly add the remaining ingredients, stirring to make sure that they are well mixed. You should have a thickish paste that will hold its shape when picked up in a tablespoon. If the mixture is too thick, add a bit of warm water. If it is too thin, add a bit more flour.
• Drop the mixture, a few tablespoons at a time, into the hot oil and cook the fritters for 3 to 5 minutes, or until they float to the surface, turning them once to make sure that they are slightly browned on each side. Drain on absorbent paper and serve hot.

SWEET POTATO FRITTERS

Steps:

• Heat about 3 inches of oil in a deep heavy pot, fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, to 365 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine the potato, ricotta, sugar, salt and pepper, to taste, with a hand mixer until smooth. Fold in the flour, a little at a time, until just combined.
• Working in batches to avoid crowing the pot, drop heaping teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning as needed to brown evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Drain on paper towels and dust with confectioners' sugar and a pinch of salt. Arrange them on a serving dish and enjoy!
• Cook's Note: Be sure to let the oil return to 365 degrees F between batches.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add potatoes and cook until tender but still firm, 12 to 15 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Crumble sausage into skillet and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and no longer pink, about 7 minutes. Remove sausage with slotted spoon and drain on paper towels.
• Pour off all but 1 tablespoon oil from the skillet. Heat oil over medium heat and add bell peppers, onion and garlic and cook until softened, about 7 minutes.
• Add to the skillet the potatoes, sausage, salsa and cumin. Stir and cook about 5 minutes to heat through and blend flavors. Season with salt and pepper.
