Instructions

BAKE THE SWEET POTATO FRIES
1

Preheat the oven to 240°C/220°C fan-forced. Cut the potato (unpeeled) into 2cm fries. Place the fries on an oven tray lined with baking paper. Drizzle with olive oil, season with a pinch of salt and pepper and toss to coat. Bake on the top rack until tender, 25-30 minutes.

GET PREPPED
2

While the fries are baking, roughly chop the baby spinach leaves. Pick and thinly slice the mint leaves. Zest the lemon to get a generous pinch, then slice into wedges. Destem the makrut lime leaves, then very finely chop. TIP: The makrut lime leaves are fibrous so you want to cut them very finely! Drain the sweetcorn. In a medium bowl, combine the sweet chilli sauce, lemon zest and a good squeeze of lemon juice.

MAKE THE SLAW
3

In a medium bowl, add the mayonnaise (see ingredients list), Japanese dressing, a good squeeze of lemon juice and a pinch of salt and pepper. Add the slaw mix and mint (reserve some for garnish) and just before serving, toss to coat.

MAKE THE FRITTER MIXTURE
4

In a medium bowl, combine the drained sweetcorn, makrut lime leaves, chopped baby spinach, crushed peanuts, Southeast Asian spice blend, the salt, plain flour, egg and milk. Mix well to combine.

COOK THE FRITTERS
5

In a large frying pan, heat enough olive oil to coat the base of the pan over a medium high heat. When the oil is hot, take a spoonful of the fritter mixture and add to the pan. Repeat with the some of the remaining mixture, without crowding the pan. Cook until golden and cooked through, 3-4 minutes each side. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towel and repeat to use up all the fritter mixture, adding extra olive oil as needed. You should get 3-4 fritters per person.

SERVE
6

Divide the fries, creamy slaw and Asian fritters between plates. Serve with the sweet chilli dipping sauce and any remaining lemon wedges. Garnish with the reserved mint.
