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

1Sweet potatoes
100 gramsSugar
1 tbspWater

Cooking Instructions

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.
11

I made hard candies with the remaining caramel.

Sweet Potato Cake that Tastes Like Japanese Sweet Potato Cake (Twice-Baked Sweet Potato Confections)! Sweet Potato Cake that Tastes Like Japanese Sweet Potato Cake (Twice-Baked Sweet Potato Confections)!

These are great for times when you have a huge craving for sweet potatoes! I used the an-nouimo variety of sweet potato from Kagoshima. Since it's a sweet variety, I reduced the sugar to 20 g and 60 g.The sweetness was just right.There's nothing much to it.Adjust the sugar to taste depending on the sweetness of the sweet potato. For an 18 cm [7.1 in] diameter cake. Recipe by rencon03

[Farmhouse Recipe] Sweet Potato [Farmhouse Recipe] Sweet Potato

The store-bought sweet potatoes are too hard for me, so I made fluffy soft ones.When they are just baked, the dough sticks to the aluminum foil, so remove the sweet potatoes from the tray after they have cooled down.Add the rum to your taste. I recommend adding 2 teaspoons of rum for people who like rum, and 1 teaspoon for other people. Adding rum makes the sweet potatoes taste really authentic and professionally made. Recipe by FarmersK

This is the recipe I've been using for 15 years.Water will collect on the lid, so wipe it off when you remove it. When cooled, the surface will harden like candy. (If it is a hot day, chill in the refrigerator). If you eat the potatoes while hot, you will burn yourself, so be careful. Recipe by annkoronn
