Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Wash and peel three purple sweet potatoes bought from the supermarket

   

2. 2 Cut into thin slices, put water in the pot, and steam it. I steamed it on the rice pot just when the rice was cooking

   

3. 3 When steaming purple sweet potatoes, you can prepare the flour first. The whiter one on the left is glutinous rice flour, and the right one is ordinary flour. You can add the proportion freely. If you like the texture to be a little glutinous, add more glutinous rice flour. If you don’t like it, add less (what I made here can be enjoyed by 3-4 people)

   

4. 4 Crush the steamed purple sweet potato with a spoon into purple sweet potato puree

   

5. 5 Add it to the flour, prepare an appropriate amount of warm water for kneading, and add four tablespoons of white sugar (white sugar can also be added to the purple sweet potato and crushed together. Because I am not using granulated sugar, it has granules, so I melt it in water and knead the dough together). The sugar can be increased or decreased according to personal preference

   

6. 6 Reconciled dough

   

7. 7 Take an appropriate amount and place it on the table, roll it into a circle or other shape, and use a grinder to press out the shape you want

   

8. 8 Press it with a grinding tool and roll it in sesame seeds, and it will look like this

   

9. 9 The half-finished pictures are heart-shaped, aren’t they so cute!

   

10. 10 Pour an appropriate amount of vegetable oil into the pan so that it can cover the purple potato cakes to be fried. After the oil is hot, turn to medium to low heat and add the purple potato cakes. Wait until the purple potato cakes expand and the sesame seeds on the surface gradually turn golden brown
