Recently I shop at another location farm market, I saw bundles of prepacked white skin sweet potato on sale for $1.00 each .I guess each package is about 5 pounds if not more..I like white skin ,yellow flesh sweet potato rather than orange flesh sweet potato because yellow flesh sweet potato have have the densest flesh of the genre and the lowest moisture content, making them a great masher. Yellow sweet potato have much less sugar ,not to said it's firmer and starchy than their orange fleshed sisters.As always I can't resist not to grab any good deal on the sale rack..Since this precious gem is on sale, I quickly grab 2 packages and dump in my shopping cart...I been cooking sweet potato sweet soup 番薯糖水 for awhile but still has plenty of sweet potato left sitting in the fridge. Well,what else to do with the rest of sweet potato? Hmmm...how about another sweet dessert? 
Ingredients:
300 gm sweet potato
100 gm glutinous rice flour(sifted)
3 tbsp sugar
1 /2 can of red bean paste
1 cup raw white sesame seeds
1-2 cup oil for frying
Method:1:Peel and cut sweet potato into small cube or slices.Prepare water in skillet or steamer.Steam sweet potato over high heat for about 20 minutes or until it's cooked.
2:Mash sweet potato well while it's still warm or hot. Then mix with glutinous rice flour and sugar.Leave it to cool slightly,then knead into dough.Divide into 10-20 equal portions or your preferred size.
3:Use your palm to flatten the dough and scoop into a bowl shape,fill with 1 tbsp red bean paste.Wrap sweet potato dough into a ball shape.keep repeat the same procedure until all dough finish.(I used red bean paste in can,it's not really well dry.If you used red bean paste which have dry body,you can shape the red bean paste in ball first before wrap with sweet potato)
4:Sprinkle some water over sweet potato ball before coat with raw sesame seeds evenly.set aside.
5:Heat fryer or deep skillet with oil at low heat,deep fry sesame balls until golden brown,dish out to paper towel to drain the excess oil before serve warm with tea or coffee.(When deep frying make sure the oil is not too hot and stir constantly,if not the paste can burst open easily)
