If i am going to tell you the full story of this recipe, you will end up reading a story not a recipe. But in brief, i came back from school one day and i want to make something with sweet potato. I intend to make sweet potato balls. But i think, why should'nt i try something different, something new🤔. Especially something that can be shaped well than potato balls.

I think, if i am to make something with a specific shape, i must make something like a dough first. I have to use flour to thicken, so that i can be able to cut it.
I cooked the potato and gathered all the ingredients. I like using lemon zest. I added it , willing to observe how the potatoes would taste at the end. I form a dough, cut out circles and finally decided to make holes. I did so and it looks like ring. After frying it, i observed that it do not absorb oil at all.
The family loved it. That lemon zest is so mashaAllah.

I then shared the recipe on my blog. I named it potato rings.
Fortunately, i don't know how many people tried out the recipe, but all the people that tell me they try it out, fall in love with it. I thought i and my family alone liked it.
The day i am going to do this one, reminding the tangy kick of that lemon zest, i decided to add the lemon juice itself. It was a yum.Sweetness of the potato balanced 70% of the acidic taste of lemon.

To be sincere, even if i made sauce , i like eating the potato rings alone without sauce. But it can go well with ketchup or dipping sauce.
