Sweet potato scallops with spiced sour cream is a delectable, nutritious dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the tangy, creamy goodness of spiced sour cream. It's perfect for a snack, appetizer, or even a light meal, and brings together the warm, earthy flavors of paprika and garlic with the refreshing hint of coriander.
Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking.
- In a medium bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and the egg.
- Gradually add the sparkling water, whisking until you get a smooth, lump-free batter. The batter should be slightly thick but fluid enough to coat the sweet potato slices.
- Dip each sweet potato slice into the batter, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess batter to drip off back into the bowl.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat with enough oil to shallow fry (about 1/2 inch deep).
- Once the oil is hot, carefully place the battered sweet potato slices into the skillet. Fry in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding.
- Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the fried sweet potato slices and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- In a small bowl, combine the sour cream, paprika, and minced garlic cloves. Stir well to mix all the ingredients evenly.
- Finely chop the coriander leaves and add them to the sour cream mixture. Stir to combine.
- Arrange the sweet potato scallops on a serving platter.
- Serve them hot with the spiced sour cream on the side for dipping.
Tips:
- Ensure the oil is hot enough before frying the sweet potato scallops to get a nice, crispy texture.
- Pat the sweet potato slices dry before coating them in the batter to help the batter adhere better.
- Serve immediately after frying to keep the scallops crisp.
- Mix the spiced sour cream in advance and let it chill in the refrigerator for a while to allow the flavors to meld together.
