Ingredients
FOR THE FILLING:
2 pounds Sweet potatoes (peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks)      View Available Products
2 teaspoons Kosher salt
1 cup Shredded cheddar cheese      View Available Products
1/2 cup Flour      View Available Products
1 teaspoon Ground cumin
1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
1/2 teaspoon Pepper
1/4 teaspoon Ground cayenne
FOR THE CROQUETTES:
1 cup Flour      View Available Products
3 Eggs (beaten with 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil)      View Available Products
1 1/4 cup Plain fine breadcrumbs      View Available Products
4 cups Oil for frying
Kosher salt

Step by Step Instructions
  1. Put the sweet potato into a pot, add 1 teaspoon salt, and an inch or 2 of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and let cook for 10 to 12 minutes. Drain, then mash the sweet potatoes with a fork and let them cool for 30 minutes.
  2. And the cheese & spices to the mashed sweet potatoes, then mix until well combined. Using a medium-sized cookie scoop, scoop the potato mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Freeze for at least 1 hour.
  3. Put the flour into one bowl, the egg & oil mixture in another, and the breadcrumbs into a 3rd. Individually, dip each scoop into the flour and shake off excess, into the eggs (turn to ensure a good coating), then coat in the breadcrumbs. Freeze until firm.
  4. Add 1 1/2 to 2 inches of oil of choice to a deep-sided pot or pan. Heat the oil over medium heat until the temperature reaches 325 to 350 degrees. Fry the croquettes in batches, stirring until they are browned & hot in the center (about 5 minutes per batch). Use a slotted spoon to put the finished batches of croquettes onto a cooling rack and sprinkle them with salt.
