Sweet potato balls are a classic snack that I always come to a bag when I see them in the night market. The taste of crisp Q-bomb is always memorable.
A while ago, my young sister was addicted to studying the formula of sweet potato balls. How to make your own sweet potato balls? In fact, it's super simple. According to this simple recipe for sweet potato balls, you can make sweet potato balls immediately by preparing three materials.
Before it's too late, let's get started.
Materials:
The ingredients of sweet potato balls are very simple, just prepare sweet potato, sugar and cassava starch. The more exquisite young lady also prepared powder that is not easy to buy (with or without it).
Sweet potato 250g cassava starch 150g (sweet potato powder is also acceptable) white sugar 50g (sweetness can be increased or decreased according to personal preference) powder 30g (20g cassava starch can be added if there is no powder on hand) Practice:
1. Peel the sweet potato and cut into pieces. After steaming, add sugar and mash.
Because the yellow sweet potato is a little cold when cooked this time, there are more particles after mashing, which will affect the subsequent finished products to some extent. It is best to start cooking sweet potatoes as soon as they are steamed.
This time, I also prepared purple potatoes, because as long as they are steamed, they can be pressed into mud and made into uniform sweet potatoes.
2. Add tapioca starch into the sweet potato paste and stir evenly to make sweet potato dough.
Because the water content of each sweet potato is different, if the dough is too wet when kneading, it is recommended to add a little cassava starch to make it feel like glutinous rice balls.
Sweet potato balls fried from too wet sweet potato dough may not be hollow.
When the purple potato is still hot, we will start making it, and the dough will be more uniform, without the graininess of cassava starch.

Because the yellow sweet potato here is made of cold sweet potato, I feel the dough will be a little dry, and the purple sweet potato dough is normal.
3. Simply knead the sweet potato dough into small balls and you can prepare the pot. Don't worry that the ball is not beautiful enough, just stir-fry it in the pot and it will be beautiful.
4. Fried sweet potato balls
The oil temperature of fried sweet potato balls is very important! First, preheat the oil to a moderate oil temperature of about 120 degrees. When the dough is put into the oil pan, it will sink and a few bubbles will appear.
When you just add the sweet potato ball dough, fry it slowly for about two minutes.
When the surface of the sweet potato ball is formed and floats slightly, you can press the sweet potato ball with a filter screen to expand it. You can gently press it once or twice at first to make sure it won't break, and then slowly try to increase the pressure. Every time you press the sweet potato ball, it will swell a little.
In this step of frying sweet potato balls, the fire is adjusted to medium fire. On the one hand, the sweet potato balls are evenly colored and become golden and full balls.
After each sweet potato ball is pressed several times repeatedly, it will expand to twice the size, float on the oil and become a golden ball, and you're done! Fry with strong fire before taking out the pan, which can force out the excess grease, so that it won't get tired of eating.
Because the dough of the sweet potato is not hot enough this time, there will be a little grain on the surface of the fried sweet potato ball, and one or two sweet potatoes will keep the skin. The part with a little black appearance looks like sweet potato skin, which is not perfect.
On the other hand, the purple sweet potato combination has achieved great success.
Fry the outer layer with medium and small fire, then gently press the sweet potato balls, and then adjust the heat to medium heat.
