Jung Ho-young's Sweet Potato Roll Candy

Thinly sliced sweet potatoes rolled up and secured with toothpicks, deep-fried until crispy, then tossed in a melted sugar syrup for a unique candy that doesn't stick to your hands

Ingredients needed 2 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Avoid slicing the sweet potatoes too thickly, as they may break when rolling; use a mandoline for even, thin slices. Thicker pieces can be sliced and fried without rolling.
  • Any moisture remaining on the sweet potatoes will cause oil to splatter violently when added to hot oil—make sure they are completely dry.
  • When making the sugar syrup, avoid high heat or stirring prematurely, as this can cause crystallization or burning, leading to a bitter taste—always melt sugar slowly over low heat.
  • Do not stack the finished candy while still warm, as they’ll stick together; spread them out widely and allow them to cool completely before storing.

Recommended for

  • Those looking for a special, sweet finger food treat for children.
  • People who want a crispier texture than regular sweet potato candy.
  • Anyone wanting a clean, non-sticky dessert that won’t leave syrup on their hands.
