How to Make Delicious and Crispy Fried Sweet Potato Cakes That Everyone Loves

Prepare the Ingredients

Wash the sweet potatoes you bought, peel them, and cut them into round slices. Then, place the sweet potatoes in a steamer to steam them until cooked.

Once the sweet potatoes are cooked, place them in a bowl and mash them with a fork. Next, add 3 tablespoons of sugar, 3 tablespoons of tapioca flour, 2 tablespoons of glutinous rice flour, and 1 tablespoon of sesame seeds, then mix well to form a smooth dough.

Cooking

After mixing the sweet potatoes and flour, you will shape the sweet potato balls. You can mold them into balls or roll them into long shapes and then use a knife to cut them into small pieces. Repeat until all the sweet potato dough is used.

Prepare a frying pan with oil, turn on low heat, and wait for the oil to heat up before adding the sweet potato balls to fry. While frying, you should stir them regularly for even puffing. When the balls float to the surface, they are cooked; remove them and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil.

Final Product

The sweet potato cake after frying puffs up beautifully, hence the name sweet potato puffs. The outer layer is crispy, while the inside is chewy, with a rich sweet potato flavor that is very appetizing.

Prepare and steam the sweet potatoes

Wash the sweet potatoes thoroughly, peel them, and cut them into small pieces. To prevent the sweet potatoes from turning black, immediately after cutting, soak them in cold water for about 5 – 10 minutes to release the sap.

Next, prepare the steamer, add water, and bring it to a boil, then place the sweet potatoes in the steamer and steam for about 15 minutes over medium heat until the sweet potatoes are soft.

Mix the dough and shape the cake

After steaming, put the sweet potato into a bowl and mash it with a fork. Next, add 150g of tapioca flour and 65g of sugar into the sweet potato bowl, then gradually pour in 100ml of plain water, mixing and kneading until the ingredients form a smooth, non-sticky dough.

To prevent sticking, sprinkle a little tapioca flour on the tray, then take the sweet potato dough and roll it into small round balls and place them on the tray.

Fry the cake

Place a pan on the stove, add 200ml of cooking oil and heat it. Next, roll the sweet potato balls in black sesame seeds, then drop them into the hot oil for frying.

To prevent the sweet potato from being hollow inside, while frying, quickly flip and press the cakes; when they turn golden, remove them and place them on a strainer or a plate lined with absorbent paper.

Crispy and fragrant sweet potato puffs with a strong sesame aroma, melting in your mouth, round and golden, looking very cute and appealing.
