My mom used to make these using a piping bag, but I found an easier way.

This has more steps that I originally anticipated, but still it's an easy recipe to follow. You can make these using a piping bag but the potato paste needs to be runny for easy piping. It's best to strain the potatoes for a smooth texture.
It's easier to shape with your hands. Recipe by Gomamaron

Steps

1

Thickly peel the potato. The potato should weight about 450 g once peeled. Cut into 1 cm cubes, blanch, then put into a heatproof dish. Add the water and microwave for 8 minutes.
2

Mash the potatoes when they are still hot (it's okay if there are a few chunks left) and add ● marked ingredients. Mix well.
3

Add the ◎ marked ingredients and combine. When everything is well combined, using your hands form into boat shapes (if the dough isn't sticky enough, add some milk).
4

Place the sweet potato cakes in aluminum cups. Combine the ○ marked ingredients and generously brush tops of the buns with the mixture. Bake in a 190℃ oven for about 15–18 minutes.
