Preheat your oven to 400°F. Use a fork to poke several holes in the sweet potato. Line a small baking pan with aluminum foil, place the sweet potato on it, and bake in the preheated oven for 45-60 minutes, or until a fork can easily pierce through to the center.

Once the sweet potato is cooked, remove it from the oven and set aside to cool for about 15 minutes, or until it's cool enough to handle.

Once cooled, remove the skin from the sweet potato. Place the peeled sweet potato in a medium mixing bowl and use a fork to mash it until completely smooth. Add the granulated sugar and mix well to combine.

Gradually add the sweet rice flour to the mashed sweet potato mixture, little by little, mixing until fully combined. Use your hands to knead the mixture until it forms a moist, cohesive dough.

Divide the dough into approximately 10 equal pieces. Roll each piece into a smooth ball.

Pour the white sesame seeds into a shallow bowl. Roll each dough ball in the sesame seeds, ensuring they are completely coated. Gently roll them in your hands again to help the sesame seeds adhere firmly to the surface.

Preheat your air fryer to 250°F. Carefully place the sesame-coated sweet potato balls into the air fryer basket in a single layer, ensuring they are not overcrowded. Cook for 10 minutes.

After 10 minutes, increase the air fryer temperature to 350°F and continue to cook for an additional 6 minutes, or until the sesame seeds are golden brown and the balls are slightly puffed.

Remove the sweet potato sesame balls from the air fryer and let them cool for a few minutes before serving. They are best enjoyed warm.
