Instructions

1
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.

Grandma's Gorditas
One of my favorite dishes that my grandma has taught me how to make. After they are cooked they can be stuffed with whatever filling you like.
Cheeseburger Meatloaf
This cheeseburger meatloaf is extremely juicy, and the potential variety of flavors is as big as your imagination. I've done American cheese with ketchup and mustard, served with dill pickle chips. Another good one might be Swiss cheese and mushroom topping.
Golabki (Stuffed Cabbage Rolls)
Golabki are cabbage leaves stuffed with ground beef and rice, then simmered in tomato soup. This works great in the oven or a slow cooker. Serve them with the pan juices and a drizzle of sour cream, or mix the pan juices with sour cream and ladle it over the cabbage rolls. They're also good with mashed potatoes and a cucumber and sour cream salad. They freeze well too — either before or after cooking.
