When steamed or baked, Japanese sweet potato develops an intense sweetness and creamy texture. A little salt or butter enhances the flavor of this delightful vegetable.

In this preparation, steamed and mashed sweet potato is shaped like miniature sweet potatoes, brushed with egg, and baked in the oven until golden. Serve this sweet with apple jam as a satisfying autumn dessert.
