Sweet potatoes add nutrients and flavor.

Peel 6 potatoes and cut them into pieces.

Place the cut potatoes in a strainer and wash them with cold water.

Cover the potatoes with water and add salt.

Boil the potatoes on medium heat for 20-30 minutes until tender.

Drain the potatoes and mash them in a bowl.

Add salt to taste, black pepper, and continue mashing the potatoes until smooth.

In another bowl, scramble 2 eggs and add 2 tbsp of water to make an egg wash.

In a separate bowl, prepare plain breadcrumbs.

Add 1 tbsp of cornstarch to the mashed potatoes and mix well with clean hands.

Take a portion of the potato mixture, flatten it, and place about 1-2 tsp of meat filling in the center.

Cover the filling completely with the potato mixture and form into a ball.

Dip the formed ball into the egg wash, ensuring it is coated.

Roll the egg-coated ball in breadcrumbs until fully coated.

Repeat the process until all potato balls are formed; a total of 13 balls are made.

Heat oil in a deep fryer or large pot to a medium-high temperature.

Carefully place the potato balls in the hot oil and fry until golden brown, turning occasionally to ensure even cooking.

Remove the fried potato balls and place them on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
