    Instructions

    For Sweet Potato Fritters:

    • 1. In a deep heavy-bottomed pot, fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, heat about 3-inches of oil to 365º F.
    • 2. In a large mixing bowl, using a hand-held mixer, combine mashed potatoes, ricotta, and sugar, season to taste with salt and pepper, until smooth. Gradually, fold in the flour, until just combined.
    • 3. Working in batches, drop heaping teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning as needed to brown evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove fritters from the hot oil using a wire strainer. Drain on paper towels and season with a pinch of salt.
    • 4. Serve with Herbed Sour Cream Dip.

    For Herbed Sour Cream Dip:

    • In a small bowl, mix all ingredients for the herb dip together until smooth. Refrigerate, covered with plastic wrap, until ready to serve.

    Notes

    Be sure the oil reaches 365ºF between batches.
