Sweet potato chin chin

---

• Steam about 2 cups (2 medium whole) of sweet potato chunks in a steam basket until tender. Once done, mash it and set it aside to cool.
• In a bowl, add 3 cups flour, salt, baking powder, ground nutmeg and ground cinnamon. Mix everything to combine. Then add the butter and mix it with the flour until it looks like bread crumbs. Add white and brown sugar and mix to combine.
• Make a well in the middle of the flour, then add the mashed potato and vanilla extract. Mix everything to combine until it forms a solid ball of dough. Cover and set aside to rest for about 30 minutes.
• After 30 minutes, dust your work surface with some flour then roll out a sizable piece of dough the you can handle. Roll it out until it is thin. With a knife or dough cutter, the dough into little squares or any shape that makes you happy. You can work on the dough until you are done or fry the first batch while cutting the next.
• Heat up enough oil to deep fry the dough on medium heat. When it is hot enough, deep fry the little square dough until the is a remarkable change in color. This will take about 7 or more minutes. Remove the fried chin chin from the oil and let it drain on a piece of paper towel. Fry the remaining batches until you are done.
• Spread them to cool before storing them in an airtight container.
• Enjoy!
