Steps

1

Cook the sweet potatoes however you like. I toss cut and skinned sweet potatoes in a rice cooker, add 1 tablespoon water, then press "start." It's an easy way to make sweet sweet potatoes.
2

Mash the sweet potatoes while hot, then add the butter and salt. If it appears too dry, add hot water until it can be gathered into a ball, then knead until smooth.
3

Form into your choice of patty shapes, then dredge first in flour, then water, and then the egg mixture. Mix together the sesame seeds and panko and coat the patties.
4

Add the patties to the heated oil and deep fry until it reaches a nice golden brown.
