When the sugar starts melting, lower the heat and simmer about 7-8 minutes more, until the sugar turns into a golden-brownish syrup. ( Never stir the syrup with a spoon , spread it by moving your pan )

4. Add the fried sweet potato to the syrup in the pan. Gently mix to coat the potato chunks in the syrup. ( Picture 1 )

5. Sprinkle some black sesame seeds over top.Transfer the potato to the parchment sheet. ( Leave a gap between each potato piece so that they don’t stick to each other ).  ( Picture 2 )
