Fried Sweet Potato Balls

Peel the sweet potato, slice it, and steam until cooked through.

Mash the steamed sweet potato into a smooth paste.

Add white sugar (adjust according to how sweet you like it). Sift the flour, then sift it into the mashed sweet potato.

Use your hands to roll the mixture into balls and place them on a plate.

Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the pan.

Heat the oil to medium (about 50% hot), then add the sweet potato balls. After adding them, gently shake the pan—this prevents sticking and helps the balls become more evenly round.

Fry for about 5 minutes until the sweet potato balls are cooked through (adjust frying time according to their size).

Scoop them out and they’re ready to serve—so simple, right?

Each one is round and glossy, and looks really cute…
