Japanese sweet potato Tips or Steps 

1. Peel and slice

.
Start by preparing the sweet potato. Peel the skin and cut into pieces. I recommend cutting the larger slices in half so they cook evenly.

2. Soak

Next, place the pieces in a microwave-safe bowl and fill it with cold water and a pinch of salt. This helps remove excess starch and prevents discoloration. Let them soak for about 5 minutes, no more than 10.

3. Cook the Sweet Potato

I recommend using the microwave for the best results with this recipe. When the sweet potato is microwaved, it won’t be as soft and sweet as if it were baked, but it’s quick and easy to make after mashing it and mixing it with the other ingredients. Since we’re adding sugar and cream anyway, I don’t feel guilty about skipping the baking this time.

There are many ways to cook sweet potatoes, and baking them at a low temperature in the oven is known to bring out the sweet potato’s natural sweetness and creamy texture. However, this recipe makes the cooked sweet potato too soft and difficult to shape, and it also takes a long time to cook.

4 Mash

Masher – The good old fashioned way is to just use a potato masher (or a fork – although it’s a bit more work).
Potato ricer – If you’re lucky enough to own this utensil you can make short work of the mashing and get an extra smooth result.
Food processor – Blending potatoes in a food processor is super quick and easy, I recommend adding all the ingredients together to loosen the mixture so your food processor doesn’t have to work too hard.

5. Add the Other Ingredients

Add the butter, sugar, honey, margarine, vanilla essence, and cream while the mashed sweet potato is still warm. This will melt the sugar and butter, making it easier to combine everything with a silicone spatula.

6. Shape

If you are a perfectionist, you can weigh the mixture using a scale and then divide it precisely. Each portion uses approximately 50 grams of mixture. Alternatively, you can divide it approximately by eye.

7. Egg Wash and Bake

Beat the egg yolk in a bowl and brush each sweet potato generously with the egg yolk. (You can use a pastry brush (affiliate link), the back of a spoon, or your finger.) Make sure you get all the way around so that no white parts are visible.

8. Cool

Place the baked sweet potatoes on a wire rack and let them cool. I personally like to chill them in the refrigerator before eatin
but they can be enjoyed warm too
