Instructions

Step 1: Peel and grate 2 medium sweet potatoes (about 1 pound) into a bowl, then mix in 3 tablespoons honey, 1 teaspoon ground cardamom, 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, and 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon until evenly coated.
Step 2: Heat 1/8 cup neutral oil in a non-stick skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Drop 1/4-cup portions of the mixture into the pan, flattening slightly into 2-inch rounds.
Step 3: Fry for 3-4 minutes per side until deeply golden and crisp around the edges, turning once with a spatula.
Step 4: Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
Step 5: Repeat with remaining oil and batter, adjusting heat to prevent burning.
Step 6: Serve immediately while hot, drizzling with an extra 1 teaspoon honey if desired.
