Sweet potato sesame balls! Second time making these, bastardized off of this recipe:

https://jasmineandtea.com/sweet-potato-sesame-balls/

One smedium sweet potato. Sugar to taste, I used probs a cup. Glutinous rice flour until it makes a dough that doesn't stick too much. I started with 1 cup and added probably another whole cup in. One 16 oz bag of it was almost enough for two sweet potatos/batches, this time I was a bit short and it was a tad sticky in my hands but still cooked just the same. I couldn't mf find red bean paste so left that out sadly.

Baked the potatoes ar 425F for 1 hr 15 mins, let it cool a bit then peeled it. Threw that mf in with the sugar and glutinous rice flour and mashed it all together until it made more sense to use my hands and knead the dough until smooth. Make lil balls. Roll em in sesame seeds. Gently lower them into some oil in batches of 3-5 until they float up and then brown a bit. Yoink em and hashashashah eating them too hot!

I yielded 33 balls this time, didn't count the first time bc i was too busy shoving them in my face
