Servings: 4 people
Ingredients
- 1 lb (500g) sweet potatoes
- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 - 2 tablespoons water
- 4 tablespoons sugar
- 3 tablespoons white sesame seeds
- oil for deep frying
- powdered sugar for dusting
Instructions
- Boil the sweet potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Peel off the skin and discard it. Then, mash the sweet potatoes.
- Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with flour, sugar, and water to form a dough that isn't sticky to your hands.
- Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll them into balls. Coat the sweet potato balls with sesame seeds. Heat a shallow pot with 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) of oil. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the sweet potato balls until they're golden brown. Remove them and drain well on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
