Fried sweet potato balls, sweet and soft, is a dessert that I like to eat since I was a kid. In our hometown, sweet potato balls are a must-have dessert during the Chinese New Year, and they are also a very important bowl of dishes at the banquet. Why not say it’s a dish, because every family banquets, after the hot dishes are served, a batch of sweet bowls and meatballs steamed in a steamer will be served. This sweet bowl includes sweet potato balls (sweet potato balls are all made in advance). It is fried, and if there are customers, put it in the steamer and reheat it), because it is served in a bowl, it is also called a sweet bowl. Sweet bowls are a dish that many children look forward to, and they will be snatched as soon as they are on the table. For men who drink alcohol, eating a few sweet sweet potato balls can also have a hangover effect.
Now the living conditions are better. If you want to eat sweet potato balls, you can fry them at any time. You can put flour or glutinous rice flour in the mashed sweet potatoes. I am a northerner and I am used to using flour. Either way, it will be very fragrant and soft when done, but if you put a lot of powder, the fried meatballs will be hard.

Ingredients

1. Prepare two pieces of sweet potatoes (sweet potato is best to choose yellow heart, this kind of sweet potato has more water, the taste is softer, and the fried balls are softer), wash and peel the sweet potatoes, cut them into the pot, add water Just pass the sweet potato, bring to a boil, cook until the sweet potato is soft and rotten (Use chopsticks to prick the sweet potato, you can easily pierce it through)

2. Control the water in the sweet potato, put it in a basin, add an appropriate amount of fine sugar, and press it into a mashed sweet potato while it is hot

3. Let it dry for a while, and put in an appropriate amount of flour (because the sweet potato has different moisture content, the required flour is different. In this step, you need to watch the state of the dough and stir while putting it). The mixed dough is this one in the picture. State, very soft dough, barely able to shape
