Sweet potato scallops with spiced sour cream

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:

1.50 sweet potatos
300g
3/4 cup all-purpose white wheat flour
90g
1 egg
50g
1/2 cup sparkling water
120g
1/2 cup sour cream
120g
1 tsp paprika
5g
2 garlic cloves
6g
2 tsp coriander leaves
6g

Instructions:

1. Prep the Sweet Potatoes:
- Peel the sweet potatoes and slice them into thin rounds, about 1/4 inch thick, for even cooking.
2. Make the Batter:
- 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.
3. Coat the Sweet Potatoes:
- 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.
4. Fry the Sweet Potato Slices:
- 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.
5. Prepare the Spiced Sour Cream:
- 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.
6. Serve:
- 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.

Sweet potato scallops with spiced sour cream offers a delightful blend of flavors and textures that are sure to impress your taste buds. Whether served as an appetizer, snack, or a delicious side, this dish is both satisfying and easy to prepare. Enjoy the blend of crispy sweet potato and the bold, creamy spiced sour cream with every bite.
