Kamote Cue
This popular Filipino Kamote Cue showcases the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes and is perfectly coated with caramelized brown sugar.
Ingredients
- 2 lb. sweet potato
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1 cup oil
Instructions
- Wash and peel sweet potatoes. Cut into round slices about half-inch thick.
- Heat oil in a pan and deep fry sweet potatoes for about 4-5 minutes or until crisp tender. Remove the fried sweet potatoes from the oil and let them drain on a paper towel-lined plate.
- Add brown sugar to the hot oil and melt until it turns into caramel. Return the sweet potatoes to the hot oil and coat well with the brown sugar glaze.
- Once the sweet potatoes have reached the desired caramelization, remove them from the oil and place them on a wire rack or paper towel to drain off excess oil. Let them cool for a few minutes before serving. (See Note 1) to serve on a skewers.
Notes
Note 1. Just simply insert bamboo skewers through the center of each sweet potato round, making sure they are secure and won't fall off.
