Kagoshima Nettabo — Sweet Potato Mochi

Yield: about 8 pieces. Steam the peeled sweet potatoes until fully tender. Use freshly pounded mochi, as in the source, or plain purchased mochi cooked until soft before combining.

While warm, pound or mash the sweet potatoes and soft mochi together until smooth. Mix the kinako, sugar and salt. Divide the potato mixture into 8 pieces and coat with the mixture.
