Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, shredded
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 cup oil for frying
3 tablespoons butter
5 tablespoons confectioners’ sugar
Directions
Place the shredded sweet potatoes into a colander and rinse with cold water; allow to dry.
Whisk together the eggs, brown sugar, flour, and vanilla in a large bowl. Stir in the sweet potatoes; mix well. Form into small patties.
Heat oil in a large skillet to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Fry patties in batches until lightly browned, about 3 minutes per side. Spread with butter; sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve hot.
