Tempura Sweet Potato

1 large sweet potato
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/2 cup cornstarch
kosher salt
vegetable oil

For the batter itself, you will need: 1 cup of flour, 1 1/3 cup chilled water, and 2 egg whites, whisked all together.

Take the sweet potato and peel off the skin. Cut the potato in circles, about 1/8 of an inch thick.

Dredge each circle in cornstarch/ flour mixture and shake off excess. Dredge in tempura batter, coating completely.

Place in a pot with vegetable oil set at 350 degrees. Cook 5 to 7 minutes to allow the outside to get crunchy and golden and the potato to cook soft.

Remove from oil and sprinkle each circle with salt.

Easy recipe, and tastes wonderful! Try it wih soy sauce!
