- 1/2 cup cooked and mashed sweet potato
- 1/2 cup chopped onion

Cooking Tips:

- Make sure your sweet potato is cooked and mashed before adding it to the batter.
- Use a deep fryer or a heavy-bottomed pot for frying.

6. Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop the batter into the hot oil and fry until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes.
7. Remove the hush puppies from the oil with a slotted spoon and place them on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
