How to Make Purple Sweet Potato Egg Rolls

Purple sweet potato egg rolls are a delightful treat, combining the earthy sweetness of purple potatoes with the crispiness of an egg wrapper. Here’s a simple guide to making them at home.

Ingredients:

- 2 medium purple sweet potatoes, peeled and steamed until soft

- 2 eggs

- 2 tbsp sugar (adjust to taste)

- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract

- A pinch of salt

- Oil for frying

Steps:

1. Prepare the filling: Mash the steamed purple potatoes until smooth. Mix in sugar and vanilla extract, then set aside.

2. Make the batter: Whisk eggs, salt, and 1 tbsp of water until well combined.

3. Cook the wrappers: Heat a non-stick pan over medium-low heat. Pour a thin layer of batter, swirling to form a thin circle. Cook for 1-2 minutes until set, then flip and cook for another 30 seconds. Repeat to make 4-6 wrappers.

4. Assemble: Spread a spoonful of purple potato filling evenly over each wrapper. Roll tightly like a spring roll, tucking in the edges.

5. Fry: Heat oil in a deep pan. Fry the rolls until golden brown and crispy, about 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.

Serve warm as a snack or dessert, optionally with a dusting of powdered sugar. Enjoy the unique color and flavor of these homemade egg rolls!
