Autumn is here, and I’m ready for all things warm and cozy. Pumpkin may get the majority of the spotlight when it comes to fall flavors, but I’m here to declare that sweet potato deserves its chance to shine. My favorite example? These crispy sweet potato bites. They’re the appetizer<\/u> of the season\u2014perfect for any occasion when you want to make something that\u2019s showstopping but don\u2019t wanna deal with cutlery. Plus, this recipe makes a handful, so it serves as an easy excuse to invite your favorite people over for the evening, and is perfect for the chilly weather season when the temperature is down and the fried intake is up. Here’s everything you need to know: <\/p>\n
What makes these bites special:<\/strong>These sweet potato bites have a crunchy, herbaceous crust, with a sweet, silky inside that, when topped with a light drizzle of honey, will have you craving them again and again. Once you bite through the crust, the sweet potato mixes with that melted, nutty Gruy\u00e8re for a dream flavor combination that works so well. If you want to choose a different cheese, that\u2019s also okay! You can really use any hard or semi-hard cheese you want, but I would choose one that has a rich and bold flavor.<\/p>\nWhat to serve with these bites:<\/strong>Don\u2019t be shy to follow this up with our rich beef stew<\/u> or another dish that makes you feel like a giant hug. Wanna make the whole meal vegetarian? Try out one of our vegetable soups<\/u> that range from hearty to light and bright.<\/p>\n\nMake ahead:<\/strong>You can make the sweet potato mixture around 3 days ahead of time so that you only have to worry about dredging and frying the day of serving. Just be sure to make the wet and dry dredges fresh for frying. <\/p>\nMade this recipe?
