Method

4 steps

1Scrub the sweet potatoes, cut into chunky angled wedges with skin on, soak in water 10 minutes, then drain and pat very dry.
2Put the wedges in a wide pan with oil about 1 cm deep, then turn the heat to medium. Fry, turning, until a knife slides through and the outside is golden. Keep children and the handle clear of the hot oil.
3Lift out onto a rack. Wipe a second pan, add sugar, water, honey and soy and simmer on medium.
4Take the pan off the heat, tip in the wedges and toss fast to coat. Scatter sesame and spread on a greased plate to set.

Serve it like this

Pile in a small bowl with the sesame side up and a few black sesame seeds scattered on the plate.
