05 Jan Budget Recipe: Sweet Potato Beignets

Posted at 03:00h in Dining on a Dime by LookingFly 7 Comments

I'm a sucker for anything that's fried and/or sprinkled with powdered sugar. Seriously, eating funnel cake is my favorite part of attending amusement parks or carnivals. So when I came across a recipe for sweet potato beignets, I was intrigued. Beignets are a New Orleans staple and the sweet potato twist seemed fun. I deviated from the original recipe by omitting the ricotta cheese and using milk. You may need to add more flour to give the mixture a doughier consistency so they can be formed in to balls.

I'm obsessed with Sunny Anderson on the Food Network. Her show, Cooking for Real, offers scrumptious recipes that even a novice can whip up. A few weeks ago she made Garlic and Olive bows {recipe}. Basically, they're garlic knots but with chopped olives in the middle and in the shape of a bow, instead of a knot.This is a great, super simple treat to pair with pasta, instead of doing the typical garlic bread.
