How to make this recipe

1. Bring a pot of water to a boil.  Peel the sweet potatoes and boil them until a fork can be inserted easily.

3. Heat the oil in a skillet on medium heat.  Place the bread crumbs in a bowl.  Form sweet potato mixture into little balls about a tablespoon each.
4. Roll in the bread crumbs to coat.
5. Fry several balls at a time in the hot oil, rolling them around to cook evenly.  They are done when golden brown.
