I thought that daigaku-imo would be delicious with a caramelized coating, and it was better than I imagined. ☆

If you heat sugar with water, the sugar will melt and become liquid in 3 minutes, and it'll crystallize in 5 minutes. But if you wait longer, the sugar will start to cook and turn color in 6 minutes.
The crunchy sugar coating melts by the next day, so eat this as soon as possible! Recipe by FarmersK

Steps

1

Roughly cut the sweet potato into chunks.
2

Spread vegetable oil on a sheet of aluminum foil or a plate.
3

Deep fry the sweet potato in medium hot oil, until a bamboo skewer can pierce through. Crank up the heat to high and fry for 3 minutes until the skin is crispy.
4

It's best if the skin is crispy and the potatoes have puffed up a bit.
5

Put the sugar and water in a small pot or pan over medium heat.
6

After 6 minutes the sugar will start to color, Cook for a little bit longer to caramelize.
7

When the sugar has turned dark brown and is starting to smoke, add the fried sweet potato slices and toss rapidly to coat.
8

Coat the sweet potatoes well.
9

Line up the sweet potato pieces on an oiled foil or plate, so that the pieces aren't touching each other.
10

Let rest for a while (10 minutes or so) and the candy coating will become brittle and hard.

I made hard candies with the remaining caramel.
