Croquette Dough

• ~3 cups cooked white sweet potato, mashed (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)

• 1 large egg (separate yolk and white)

Instructions

1. Prepare the Sweet Potatoes Peel, cut, and boil white sweet potatoes in salted water until very tender. Drain and let steam-dry, then mash with a potato masher or fork until smooth.

2. Make the Dough Allow the mash to cool slightly. Stir in the egg yolk, arrowroot starch, 1/4 cup baking mix, soft sheep butter, salt, and nutmeg. Mix until a soft, formable dough forms.

3. Shape the Croquettes Lightly dust your work surface with the baking mix. Roll the dough into 3/4-inch thick logs and cut into 2-inch pieces.

4. Bread the Croquettes Dip each piece first in baking mix, then in whisked egg white, and finally in the lectin-free breadcrumbs, coating all sides.

5. Fry to Golden Heat tallow, ghee, or sheep butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry croquettes in batches until golden brown on all sides, turning gently. Drain on paper towels.
   

Serving Suggestions

Serve them crisp alongside lectin-free dips like:

• Avocado yogurt sauce

• Herbed dairy dip

• Chimichurri
  

They also pair beautifully with grilled meats or roasted veggies.

Tips

• For baking instead of frying, arrange croquettes on a greased sheet, brush lightly with ghee, and bake at 425°F (220°C) until golden.

• If dough feels sticky, add a little more baking mix, 1 tablespoon at a time.
