Bata Fried Sweet Potatoes With Spicy Peanut Dip

Ingredients

  • 2 large sweet potatoes, peeled and sliced into thin rounds
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil, for frying
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons soy sauce
  • 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon sriracha
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup water

Instructions

  1. In a bowl, mix the flour, salt, and paprika. Dredge the sweet potato slices in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
  2. Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry the sweet potato slices in batches until golden brown and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
  3. In a separate bowl, whisk together the peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey, sriracha, garlic, and water until smooth. If the dip is too thick, add more water to reach the desired consistency.
  4. Serve the bata fried sweet potatoes with the spicy peanut dip on the side for dipping.
