    Ingredients

    • 2 cups self rising flour
    • 3 eggs
    • 1 1/2 cups buttermilk
    • sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
    • 2 cups thawed frozen peas
    • 2 cups grated sweet potatoes
    • 1/2 cup chopped mint
    • 1/2 cup chopped basil
    • olive oil for frying

    Directions

    Donna Hay magazine is such a pleasure to read, I finally gave in and took out a subscription. The photographs, layout and design and, of course, the recipes all please the eye and palate. I don't know about you, but many pages of my cooking magazines have bent over corners inside. I stash Donna Hay issues in a big wicker basket and every once in a while, when I am searching for something I recalled seeing in one of them, I take them all out and go through the magazines flipping open the pages with bent corners.

    And that's how I re-discovered this recipe. What a lovely little fritter....perfect for a light supper. DH suggest a minted pea salad to go with it, but a dollop of sour cream on top would be good too. Or both.

    Sweet Potato and Pea Fritters

    From Donna Hay Magazine, Issue 65

    Ingredients:

    Method:

    Mix flour, eggs, buttermilk, salt and pepper. Add the peas, sweet potatoes, mint and basil.

    Heat the olive oil and fry the fritters using 1/4 cup batter for each one. Fry 2-3 minutes each side or until cooked through. (I treated them like pancakes: when I saw the bubbles come up in the center of the fritter, I flipped it.)

    Serve with a pea and mint salad.
