8. 8 Pour an appropriate amount of oil into the frying pan. When the oil temperature reaches 80% or 90% hot, gently put the purple potato balls into the oil pan. After 10 seconds, push the purple potato balls; the oil temperature must be hot, otherwise the sesame seeds will fall off easily. As you can see from the picture, some of the purple sweet potato balls I made had sesame seeds falling off them. They put them in when the oil was not very hot
