💰Cheaper: pumpkin

Pumpkin is often more affordable and still provides sweetness.

cooking oil

🥗Healthier: coconut oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Vegetable oil is usually less expensive and widely available.

Cut sweet potato into chunks and steam them until fully cooked, 10-15 minutes.

Transfer the potatoes onto a plate and mash with a fork until smooth. Let it cool to room temperature.

Transfer cooled mashed potato to a mixing bowl, add sugar and salt then stir until combined.

Add tapioca starch and flour, then sift in baking powder, and stir everything together briefly to assess moisture.

If needed, add coconut milk, 1 Tbsp at a time, until all flour can be incorporated.

Scoop up a heaped teaspoon of dough and roll into balls.

Add enough oil into your pot to submerge the balls completely.

Heat the oil to 325°F, add the balls, and stir immediately to prevent sticking.

Keep frying until they float, stirring to brown evenly for about 5 minutes.

Scoop them up, shake off excess oil, and place on a paper-towel lined plate to absorb surface oil.

Serve once cool enough to eat; best when fresh.
