I'm not sure what I did wrong, but these didn't turn out well for me. They were too oily and the filling was bland.

These were a bit too spicy for my taste, but I still enjoyed them. I think I'll try making them again with less cayenne pepper.

These sweet potato balls were phenomenal! They were crispy on the outside and soft and tender on the inside, with the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. I served them with a sriracha dipping sauce and they were a huge hit at my party.
