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.
