Another WW recipe that I've added to my collection. Serving size is SIX 2-inch fritters. Carb = 147, Fat = 2 g, Fiber = 2 g for a total of 3 WW points per serving. Prep time includes the time to cook the potato if using the oven. The cook time is the time it takes to fry the fritters. Ingredients:
1 lb sweet potato |
1/4 cup 1% low-fat milk |
1 large egg, separated |
4 teaspoons sugar |
1/2 teaspoon grated fresh ginger (i used ginger from a jar) |

1/8 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/4 cup all-purpose flour |

1. Either preheat oven to 425 degrees and bake the potatoes until done (about 45 minutes) or microwave them on high for 7 minutes each (or about 14 minutes together).
