Golden Sweet Potato Fritters

Source of Recipe

"Southern Living", January 1979


List of Ingredients

1 1/3 cup beer
3 eggs, separated
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
salt
2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
6 medium-sized sweet potatoes
Hot vegetable oil



Recipe

Open beer, and let stand at room temperature until warm and flat (4-5 hours).

Combine beer, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tsp. salt; beat with electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add flour, beating until smooth and stiff (batter will be thick). Let batter stand 30 minutes.

Wash potatoes; cover with water and cook just until fork tender. Drain and let cool to touch. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Set aside.

Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into batter. Dip potato slices into batter and coat lightly. Fry in hot oil 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain; sprinkle with salt.
