Recipe

Soak sliced sweet potatoes in salt-sugar water to remove starch, then prepare the egg mixture by combining eggs, potato starch, and mirin.
Heat oil in a pan, sauté the sweet potato strips for 4 minutes and 30 seconds over medium heat, then reduce heat and shape into a round form.
Pour in the egg mixture, sprinkle crushed peanut powder on top, and cook both sides until golden. Serve with ketchup.

Cooking tips

Soaking sliced sweet potatoes in salted sugar water prevents browning and removes excess starch, resulting in crispier texture and better flavor absorption.
Adding a small amount of potato starch to the egg mixture ensures the fritter holds together well without flour, giving it a chewy yet non-crumbly texture.
Always reduce the heat to low before pouring in the egg mixture to prevent the eggs from burning and ensure they blend smoothly with the sweet potatoes.
