Method
- Blanch the asparagus tips in boiling salted water for 30 seconds, drain, then refresh under cold water. Put the grated sweet potato in a clean tea towel and squeeze out as much moisture as you can.
- Mix the sweet potato with the sliced asparagus and tips, herbs, egg, feta and flour. Season well, then chill for 15 minutes.
- Heat the vegetable oil to a depth of 1cm in a non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Put large spoonfuls of the asparagus mixture into the hot oil, flattening a little with the back of a spoon. Fry in batches for 2 minutes on each side until golden. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on kitchen paper. Repeat with the remaining mixture. Serve warm with herbs scattered on top.
