Instructions

Boil the sweet potatoes in boiling water for 15 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Peel off the skin and discard it. Then, mash the sweet potatoes.
Combine the mashed sweet potatoes with flour, sugar, and water to form a dough that isn't sticky to your hands.
Divide the dough into small, equal portions and roll them into balls. Coat the sweet potato balls with sesame seeds. Heat a shallow pot with 2-3 inches (5-7 cm) of oil. Once the oil is hot, deep fry the sweet potato balls until they're golden brown. Remove them and drain well on paper towels. Dust with powdered sugar before serving.
