🥞 American

Fried sweet potato drowned in butter-hot buffalo sauce — napkins mandatory. 23 minutes of mostly hands-off cooking.

Prep 18 min Cook 5 min Serves 4 Easy

Ingredients

  • Butter80 g
  • Vegetable Oilfor deep-frying
  • Eggs2, beaten
  • All-Purpose Flour100 g
  • Breadcrumbs150 g
  • Sweet Potato3
  • Smoked Paprika1 tsp
  • Hot Sauce120 ml

Optional extras

  • Fresh Parsleyhandful, to finish

Instructions

  1. 1

    Pat the sweet potato dry and season with the smoked paprika and a little salt.

  2. 2

    Set up a breading line: flour, then beaten egg, then breadcrumbs — press the crumbs on firmly.

  3. 3

    Heat 4-5 cm of oil to 180°C; a breadcrumb dropped in should sizzle straight away.

  4. 4

    Fry the sweet potato in small batches until deep golden, 3-4 minutes per batch.

  5. 5

    Drain on a rack, never on paper, and serve hot with chives scattered over.

Chef's tip

Keep the oil at a steady 180°C — too cool and the coating goes greasy.
