Ingredients
- 2 sweet potato peeled; cooked and mashed, large
- vegetable oil for frying, or peanut oil
- 1 cup ricotta cheese whole milk
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar

Instructions
For Sweet Potato Fritters:
- 1. In a deep heavy-bottomed pot, fitted with a deep-frying thermometer, heat about 3-inches of oil to 365º F.

- 3. Working in batches, drop heaping teaspoons of the batter into the hot oil. Fry until golden brown, turning as needed to brown evenly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Remove fritters from the hot oil using a wire strainer. Drain on paper towels and season with a pinch of salt.
