Candied Sweet Potatoes

I originally made this snack on the spot at an event, and since it turned out to be very popular, I decided to turn it into a proper recipe.

Ingredients

• Purple sweet potato, peeled: 250 g (about one potato)

• Oil (neutral vegetable oil): 25 g

• Cane sugar: 25 g

• Cinnamon powder: to taste

• Sesame oil: about 5 g

Instructions

Cut the sweet potato into slices about 1 cm thick. Heat the oil in a frying pan over medium heat and shallow-fry the slices for about 5 minutes on each side, or until they are cooked through.

The surface will become slightly plump and tender. By the time they are done, almost no oil or moisture should remain in the pan.

Once the sweet potatoes are fully cooked, sprinkle cane sugar and cinnamon over them. Gently stir-fry until the sugar starts to melt (50%and lightly coats the potatoes.

Finish by adding a small drizzle of sesame oil.(You could also add sesame seeds)

Serve warm.
