Make the tempura: Beat eggs in a large bowl until frothy. Stir in 3/4 cup plus 3 tablespoons ice water, 3/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, and salt until just incorporated; batter should still be very lumpy.

Heat oil in a deep-fryer or large saucepan to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Set a wire rack over several layers of paper towels.

Dry sweet potato slices with paper towels. Dip three slices into batter, letting excess batter drip back into the bowl. Fry in the preheated oil until golden brown, about 2 minutes per side. Use a slotted spoon to transfer sweet potatoes to the wire rack. Repeat to dip and fry remaining sweet potatoes.

Samosadilla (Samosa Quesadilla)
While it's true a perfectly made, expertly fried, and quickly served samosa is superior to this version, that can be a very rare combination of events. By comparison, this quesadilla approach is almost impossible to mess up, and if you use enough oil in your pan, you should be able to achieve a beautifully browned, crispy crust that rivals something out of a deep fryer.
Air Fryer Fried Eggs
Use your air fryer to fry eggs if you are in a hurry and need a quick on-the go-breakfast. Cut and shape your foil the night before and let your air fryer do the work for you while your coffee brews in the morning. No ramekin required! If you increase your foil size to 8x10 inches you can cook 2 eggs at a time.
White Chocolate Raspberry Cheesecake
This white chocolate raspberry cheesecake is excellent and just as delicious as one you would get in a restaurant. Garnish with white chocolate curls if desired. Great for special occasions!
