Ingredients
– 2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and grated
– 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
– 2 eggs, beaten
– 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 teaspoon salt
– 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
– 1 cup vegetable oil for frying
– 8 ounces burrata cheese, torn into pieces
– 1/2 cup chopped roasted and salted pistachios
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, mix together the grated sweet potatoes, panko breadcrumbs, beaten eggs, flour, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
2. In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
3. Scoop heaping tablespoons of the sweet potato mixture and gently form them into croquettes.
4. Carefully add the croquettes to the hot oil and fry for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
5. Remove the croquettes from the oil and drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
6. Arrange the croquettes on a serving platter and top with the burrata cheese and chopped pistachios.
7. Serve immediately, with the croquettes still warm, and enjoy!
Notes
For a crispier texture, you can bake the croquettes instead of frying them. Preheat the oven to 400°F and bake the croquettes on a parchment-lined baking sheet for 20-25 minutes, flipping halfway through.
