I also like and enjoy eating sweet potato (kamote), whether boiled or fried or kamotecue (I just remove the sugar). I prefer the first as it's healthier, but moderately being a diabetic.
They say, this root tuber is a poor man's food. I can still remember - when I offered it to an office mate, who hailed from the province, he rejected it. He said, "Tom, when I was in our province, I'd been eating kamote almost daily!" Okay, fine! He he . . .
Poor or rich, some generous friends offered 2-kilos of kamote for free. It's free, so I accepted.
It's Kalim-aw orange kamote. I learnt that this type comes from Mindanao mountain ranges.
Let's try and taste it. The skins were still soiled with some traces of worm attack. So, I thoroughly cleaned and brushed off the dirts first before boiling them.
Cooked, at last! Wow, this is the sweetest kamote I've ever tasted.
Another offer is coming! Next time, I am going to try a grilled kamote.
Eating kamote, I hope I won't become a "kamote rider". But, farting? Also, I was reminded of my kamote episodes in school examinations.
