The crispy daigaku imo are Japanese deep-fried potatoes coated with a sweet sugar glaze. Glossy and crispy from the outside, the potato chunks stay juicy, tender, and soft on the inside. Since the name of this affordable treat translates to university potatoes, it is believed they first appeared among the student population in the early 1900s, and they are still prepared and sold at numerous student fairs. Prior to serving, they are traditionally sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds and enjoyed as a nutritious snack.
