Kamote Cue (Sweet Potato)






Ingredients:

3 - 4 pieces of big sweet potato, skin peeled and slice about 5 or 6 cm
1/4 kilo muscovado
2 cups of cooking oil

Procedure:

Wash sweet potato. Peel off the skin and remove the dark spots if there's any. Slice it about 5 or 6 centimeters.
Heat pan. Add the oil. Make sure that oil is hot so that the sweet potatoes won't stick to the pan. Fry the sweet potatoes until light brown in color. Add the muscovado. Stir in continuously until all the sugar melts and sticks to the sweet potatoes. Remove from pan and drain the excess oil. Serve hot. Bon Appetit! ^__^



** Muscovado is a type of unrefined brown sugar with a strong molasses flavor. Muscovado or sometimes called "moist sugar" is very dark brown and slightly coarser, more nutritious and stickier than most brown sugars.
