[Guest guest]

I'm not at all familiar with these puffs???

Are they mooncakes with sesame seeds sprinkled over them?

No, they're not mooncakes. They're just cooked/mashed sweet potato w/

some kind of breading. I'm not sure it they're baked or fried - or

what the breading is exactly. I'm going to do some experimenting and

see if I can duplicate it.

You know I have quite a few Chinese cookbooks and I can't locate a recipe for

you. I have 2 Chinese friends and neither one of them knows about this either.

I will keep hunting for you. I love any type of potato so I'd enjoy the recipe

also.

I've had something like fried sweet potato nugget things at a local barbeque

restaurant as well as an Oriental style buffet. They are commercially made and

addictive. I'm still trying to find the maker online but did find this sweet

potato croquettes recipe

http://southernfood.about.com/od/sweetpotatoes/r/bl30319a.htm

 

Also found a sweet potato won ton recipe that I will probaly try soon as it

gets cooler..

Worst comes to worst, I will bite the bullet and go out to dinner tomorrow

with my husband and ask the bbq people where they get the sweet potato things.

(After ordering my sweet potato nuggets, cole slaw and tea, lol)

I hope it wasn't like this recipe for sweet potato puffs:

There's marshmallow in them there balls!

And most restaurants likely aren't using a vegetarian kind.
