Instructions

1. 1

   Peel and finely grate 2 large sweet potatoes (approximately 600 grams) and 1/2 medium onion (approximately 75 grams) into a large mixing bowl.

2. 2

   Add 1 large egg, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper to the bowl, then mix thoroughly until a cohesive batter forms.

3. 3

   Heat 3 cups of vegetable oil in a deep pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat until it reaches 350-375°F (175-190°C).

4. 4

   Carefully drop spoonfuls of the sweet potato batter, about 2 tablespoons each, into the hot oil without overcrowding the pot.

5. 5

   Fry the Süßkartoffelküchlein for 3-5 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through.

6. 6

   Remove the fried fritters with a slotted spoon and place them on a wire rack lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

7. 7

   Serve the deep-fried sweet potato fritters immediately with 1.5 cups of apple sauce on the side.
