Sweet Potato Balls

Ingredients:

500g sweet potatoes

200g tapioca flour

30g all-purpose flour

120g sugar

1 tsp baking powder

Oil for frying

Direction/Instruction:

1. Place the sweet potatoes in a steamer and steam for 10 minutes or until soft. Transfer the steamed potatoes to a large bowl and mash them into a puree.
2. Combine the flour, sugar, and baking powder in a mixing bowl. Mix well and add this mixture to the sweet potato puree. Mix with a spatula until a soft dough begins to form. The dough should be soft but not sticky; add a bit more tapioca flour if it is too sticky.
3. Pinch a small dough to form a small ball about an inch in diameter & set it aside.  Repeat this process with the remaining dough.
4. Heat enough oil to fry the sweet potato balls over medium-low heat (160 deg C). Fry the balls in batches for 3-4 minutes or until golden.
5. When the balls are floating, they are cooked through. Remove the cooked balls from the oil and drain to remove the excess oil. Repeat the cooking process until all of the balls are cooked. Serve while hot, and enjoy!
