Candied Sweet Potato

Goguma Mattang

Ingredients

• 2 medium Sweet potatoes (cut into bite-sized chunks)
• ½ cup Sugar
• 2 cups Vegetable oil (for frying)
• 2 tablespoons Corn syrup
• 1 tablespoon Sesame seeds
• 2 tablespoons Water

Instructions

1. Cut sweet potatoes into irregular bite-sized chunks. Soak in cold water for 5 minutes, then pat dry thoroughly.
2. Heat oil to 325°F (160°C). Fry sweet potato chunks for 5-6 minutes until cooked through and lightly golden. Remove and drain.
3. In a clean pan, combine sugar, water, and corn syrup. Cook over medium heat without stirring until the sugar melts and turns amber (about 3 minutes).
4. Add fried sweet potatoes to the caramel. Toss quickly to coat. Sprinkle sesame seeds and transfer to a greased plate. Serve immediately before the coating hardens.
