- 2 tbsp Sugar(optional, for a slightly sweeter dough)
- for deep frying Vegetable oil
👨🍳 Yapılışı
- 1
Ensure the mashed sweet potato is as dry as possible. You can spread it on a baking sheet and let it air dry for a bit, or gently press out excess moisture.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Excess moisture can make the dough too sticky. - 2
In a bowl, combine the mashed sweet potato, tapioca starch, and sugar (if using). Mix well until a cohesive dough forms. If the dough is too sticky, gradually add more tapioca starch, a tablespoon at a time, until it's manageable.
- 3
Lightly dust your hands with tapioca starch. Roll the dough into small balls, about 2-3 cm in diameter.

Heat vegetable oil in a wok or deep pot over medium-high heat to about 170°C (340°F).
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Use a thermometer for accuracy, or test by dropping a tiny piece of dough; it should sizzle and float. - 5
Carefully add the sweet potato balls to the hot oil in batches, being careful not to overcrowd the pot. Fry for about 5-7 minutes, stirring gently, until they puff up, turn golden brown, and become crispy.
💡 Profesyonel İpuçları: Stirring helps them cook evenly and prevents sticking. - 6
Remove the fried balls with a slotted spoon and drain them on paper towels.
