Ingredients
2 large sweet potatoes, peeled; cooked and mashed
Vegetable or peanut oil, for frying
1 cup whole milk ricotta cheese
1/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
Kosher salt, to taste
Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
1/2 cup white wheat flour

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