Introducing ‘Sweet Potato Doughnuts’ that anyone can make easily and quickly with just sweet potatoes and hotcake mix from home. They are the best as a nutritious snack for children!
Main Ingredients
- 500g sweet potato
- 1 Tbsp sugar
- 1/2 Tbsp salt
- 400g hotcake mix
- Grapeseed oil (for frying), as needed
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, wash the 500g of sweet potatoes thoroughly and peel them. Using peeled sweet potatoes will result in a softer dough later.
Step 2
Cut the peeled sweet potatoes in half into bite-sized pieces. Cutting them like this will help them cook faster.
Step 3
Place the cut sweet potatoes in a pot and add 1.5 liters of water. This is enough water to fully submerge the sweet potatoes.
Step 4
Add 1 tablespoon of sugar while boiling the sweet potatoes. This will further enhance the natural sweetness of the sweet potatoes.
Step 5
Also add 1/2 tablespoon of salt. The combination of sweet and salty flavors will deepen the sweet potato’s taste. Now, cover the pot and boil until the sweet potatoes are completely tender.
Step 6
Once the sweet potatoes are boiled, drain the water and mash them while they are still hot. You can mash them through a sieve or use a fork for easier mashing.
Step 7
Add all 400g of the hotcake mix to the warm mashed sweet potato mixture.
Step 8
Using your hands or a spatula, gently mix the ingredients until a dough forms. Ensure the hotcake mix is evenly incorporated with the sweet potatoes without lumps. Mix gently to avoid making the dough tough.
Step 9
Once the dough is ready, shape it into your desired forms, such as round balls or doughnut shapes, which kids will love. It’s best not to make them too thick.
Step 10
Pour a generous amount of grapeseed oil into a deep pan and heat it over medium heat. Once the oil is sufficiently hot, carefully add the shaped sweet potato dough. Fry them, turning them occasionally, until they are golden brown on all sides. This will result in delicious sweet potato doughnuts.
Step 11
Place the fried sweet potato doughnuts on paper towels or a wire rack to drain off excess oil for a while. This will make them crispier and less greasy.
Step 12
Arrange the drained sweet potato doughnuts attractively on a plate. Garnish with fresh baby greens and a dusting of powdered sugar for a beautiful dessert presentation.
Step 13
These nutritious sweet potato doughnuts are truly the best snack for children! They taste even better when served warm.
