Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Fritters (Toto)

Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet Potatoes
• 0.5 cup Rice Flour
• 0.5 small Onion
• 1 teaspoon Ginger
• 0.25 teaspoon Nutmeg
• 2 tablespoons Sugar
• 0.25 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 cup Vegetable Oil

Instructions

1. 1Peel the 2 medium sweet potatoes and grate them using a box grater or food processor. Place the grated sweet potatoes into a large mixing bowl. Finely chop the 0.5 small onion and grate the 1 teaspoon of ginger, adding both to the bowl.
2. 2Add the 0.5 cup of rice flour, 0.25 teaspoon of nutmeg, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 0.25 teaspoon of salt to the bowl with the sweet potato mixture. Stir thoroughly with a spoon or your hands until all ingredients are evenly combined into a thick, cohesive batter.
3. 3Place a 10-inch or 12-inch frying pan over medium heat. Pour the 0.5 cup of vegetable oil into the pan and allow it to heat for 3-5 minutes, until it shimmers slightly and a small test drop of the mixture sizzles immediately upon contact. The oil should reach approximately 350°F (175°C).
4. 4Carefully drop spoonfuls (about 1.5 tablespoons each) of the sweet potato mixture into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for 3-4 minutes on the first side, until the fritters are visibly golden brown and crisp at the edges.
5. 5Using tongs or a spatula, gently flip each fritter to the other side. Continue to fry for another 3-4 minutes, until the second side is also golden brown and the fritters feel firm to the touch, indicating they are cooked through.
6. 6Carefully remove the cooked fritters from the pan using tongs or a slotted spoon and transfer them to a plate lined with paper towels. This step allows any excess oil to drain, helping the fritters remain crisp.
7. 7Serve the Gluten-Free Sweet Potato Fritters warm.
