I looked and looked for a recipe for fried sweet potatoes. I was unhappy with any recipes I found, so I came up with my own. These were a hit with ALL my kids. And we, as parents, know how hard that is. I have 4 kids, and next time I will be doubling my recipe.

A platter of Fried Sweet Potato Tidbits.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

Serve these sweet potato tidbits as a side dish or a snack. If you dip them in honey, as suggested, they could almost be a dessert. The batter is seasoned with sweet and savory spices along with a touch of sugar. Once fried, the batter crisps and gives the sweet potato fries a nice balance of sweet and savory.

1 1/4 cups milk (needs to be thin, if not thin enough add more milk)

How To Make fried sweet potato tidbits

Step 1

Mix the first 7 ingredients together. Make sure the batter is thin. If not thin enough, add a little more milk.

Step 2

Cut sweet potatoes into thin fries and then into short pieces.
Step 3

Add sweet potatoes into your batter and stir until well-coated.
Step 4

Heat oil to 375 degrees. Drop by spoonfuls into the hot deep fryer and fry for 7 minutes.
Step 5

When deep golden brown in color, remove and place them on a paper towel to drain excess oil. Let cool for about 10 min. I serve mine with ranch dressing or honey.
