Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Peel the sweet potato and cut into 1/2-inch rounds. Soak in water for 10 minutes, then drain. Boil in just enough water to cover for 13 to 15 minutes until tender. Drain and transfer to a medium bowl.
3. While still hot, mash the potato with a fork, then mix in the butter, sugar and milk. Let cool and divide into 8 portions.
4. Cut each puff pastry sheet into 8 rectangles. Prick the 8 bottom pieces with a fork. Cut slits about 1/2 inch apart in the 8 top pieces. Place one portion of filling in the center of each bottom piece, cover with a top piece, and press the edges together with a fork.
5. Arrange the pies on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Brush with beaten egg, sprinkle with black sesame seeds, and bake at 400°F (200°C) for 13 to 15 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
