A simple yet, very tasty, recipe for that afternoon snack with hot coffee or chocolate. Great for a kid's fall snack. If you have leftovers, they're good with your morning coffee too.

Blue Ribbon Recipe

These little tasty sweet potato doughnuts are just perfect for a snack on a fall afternoon or even for a few quick bites on a busy morning. Doughnuts might be a little misleading. To us, these had the texture of a sweet potato fritter. Outside they are slightly crisp and hold in the mashed sweet potato filling. Enjoy plain or with a dusting of powdered sugar.

How To Make sweet potato doughnuts "bonuelos"

Test Kitchen Tips

If you can't form balls, drop spoonfuls into the hot oil and fry.

1
Cut sweet potatoes into cubes (about 2 cups). Boil sweet potatoes until soft.

2
Smash or puree in a separate bowl.
3
Mix sweet potatoes with the sugar. Then sift the flour and baking soda in.
4
Use your deep fryer or a large deep pot. Heat 1 quart of oil on medium-high to medium heat. Use a thermometer to keep the heat around 375 degrees F.
5
Shape into 1 inch size balls and drop into hot deep fryer. Let cook on all sides until golden brown.
6
Remove from the oil and drain on a paper towel.
