Easy Comfort Food My Sweet Potato Cakes - butter

Method

• Peel the skins from the sweet potatoes, slice into thin rounds, then boil until tender.
• Drain the hot water, mash while still hot, add butter, then mix well.
• Add milk, sugar, and salt, then simmer on low heat.
• Stir with a wooden spoon to prevent the batter from sticking to the bottom of the pan, and cook out the liquid.
• Remove from heat once the batter becomes thick and heavy.
• Let the cakes cool to the touch, then thoroughly whisk the egg yolk.
• Shape the cakes into boat-like shapes, then arrange on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
• For the egg wash, mix a small amount of water to the egg white, paint it on the surface of the cakes, then brown the cakes in the toaster oven.
