Dungeness Crab - Sweet Potato - Corn Fritters

Excellent flavor but difficult to cook all the way through.

This dish produced beautiful sweet and flavorful fritters. Crab, grated sweet potato, and sweet corn frozen away last summer came together with some cake flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder, and turmeric.

I always cringe at fried foods because of their propensity to absorb fats, and so I only tasted a tiny piece of these. But my daughter just loved them (and has no qualms about fried foods). The fritters are served with a jalapeno-lime dipping sauce which I forgot to try.

Some fritters were uncooked inside - it was difficult to keep the oil at the right temperature and there were no instructions for determining how to tell if they were cooked inside.

This dish was prepared for the January 2013 meeting of our cookbook cooking club by one of the participants (not me). It was a dinner composed of appetizers - very yummy.
