– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 1 tablespoon baking powder
– 1/2 teaspoon salt
– 2 eggs
– 1/2 cup milk
– 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
– 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
– 1/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
1. In a large bowl, combine the shredded sweet potatoes, flour, baking powder, and salt. Mix well.
2. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs and milk together. Pour the egg mixture into the sweet potato mixture and stir until just combined.

4. In a large skillet or Dutch oven, heat 2-3 inches of vegetable oil to 350°F.

Notes
For extra flavor, you can add finely chopped onions or jalapeños to the batter. The cinnamon butter dip can also be used as a dip for other fried or roasted vegetables.
