This means college potatoes and they are popular snacks for students in Japan. Japanese sweet potatoes are lighter in color than what we are used to. Ingredients:
1 lb sweet potato, cut-up in serving sizes and soaked in water |
vegetable oil or canola oil (for frying) |
1 cup white sugar (or you can use brown sugar) |
1 1/2-2 tablespoons oil |
2 tablespoons sesame seeds, toasted |
Directions:
1. Fry the cut-up sweet potatoes in oil and drain.
2. Make sure the potatoes have a crisp exterior.
3. Make the sauce, heating the oil, sugar and sesame seeds together in a large saucepan.
4. Remove from heat, add the potatoes, and stir well to thoroughly cover the potatoes.
5. Place the potatoes on a greased plate or pan so that they do not stick to one another.
6. Serve warm or cold.
