Steps

1

Cook the sweet potato using your preferred method. I peel and cut the sweet potato, place it in a rice cooker with 1 tablespoon of water, and cook as usual. This makes it sweet and easy to prepare.
2

(Cooking times may vary depending on your rice cooker, so please refer to your rice cooker's manual and use it safely.)
3

While still hot, mash the sweet potato and mix in the butter and salt. If the mixture is too dry, add a little hot water to make it smooth and easy to shape.
4

Shape the mixture as you like, then coat with flour, followed by the beaten egg. Mix the sesame seeds and panko together, then coat the croquettes with this mixture.
5

Fry in preheated oil until golden brown.
