Ingredients
- 1 1/3 cup beer
- 3 eggs, separated
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- salt
- 2 2/3 cups all-purpose flour
- 6 medium-sized sweet potatoes
- Hot vegetable oil
Directions
Open beer, and let stand at room temperature until warm and flat (4-5 hours).
Combine beer, egg yolks, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1 tsp. salt; beat with electric mixer until frothy. Gradually add flour, beating until smooth and stiff (batter will be thick). Let batter stand 30 minutes.
Wash potatoes; cover with water and cook just until fork tender. Drain and let cool to touch. Peel potatoes and cut into 1/4 inch slices. Set aside.
Beat egg whites until stiff; fold into batter. Dip potato slices into batter and coat lightly. Fry in hot oil 3-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown. Drain; sprinkle with salt.
