Roasted sweet potato is whipped to silk, folded with charred poblano purée and aged Oaxaca cheese, piped into cylinders, chilled, breaded in panko, and fried until the exterior shatters while the interior flows like molten gold. Served with a Spanish-style charred garlic aioli with a whisper of guajillo.
