Instructions
Put the chunks of sweet potato in a large saucepan and cover with cold water.
Bring to the boil then cook for 8 minutes.
Drain the sweet potatoes and rinse in cold water until cool.
Grate the sweet potatoes using a cheese grater.
Gather the grated sweet potato in a clean tea towel and squeeze out excess moisture.
Add the sweet potato, flour, sage, cinnamon and nutmeg to a large bowl and mix well.
Shape 1.5 teaspoon mounds into little logs.
Heat oil over high heat in a frypan.
Fry the logs in batches until golden on all sides- 4-5 minutes per log.
Drain on paper towel.
COOK: preheat oven to 220 degrees and bake for 10 minutes or until crunchy.
FREEZE: freeze after frying and reheat in a 220 degree oven for 15-20 minutes.
