Sweet potato balls

I'm not a regular sweet potato, I'm a cool sweet potato. Sweet potato mochi balls actually. And I'm tossed in a gochujang parmesan butter sauce!

Sweet potato balls are a popular bite-sized snack in Taiwan. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. Made with tapioca flour, the texture on the inside is bouncy, very similar to that of tapioca pearls in bubble tea.

Thai Fried Sweet Potato Balls (also known as Khanom Kai Nok Kra Ta) are one of my favourite Thai snacks. I first had them when dining at Chat Thai – a Thai restaurant in the City which serves great authentic Thai food and sweets. From then on, I have been madly in love with these addictive and delicious Thai street snacks.

I wanted to enjoy my boiled sweet potatoes in a new, more exciting way so I made these sweet potato and vegan ham balls. The vegan ham adds a nice saltines and extra meaty bite to the velvety sweet potatoes to make a really satisfying bite and delicious finger food that you can enjoy with your dipping sauce of choice.

Some readers ask me if I have a recipe for oven baked sweet potato balls after stumbling upon my sweet potato balls recipe.
