What a Huge Sweet Potato!

I went to the butcher inside the supermarket this afternoon to buy pork steaks. There were not many people inside as I went there a few minutes after lunch. I passed by the vegetable aisle and saw huge sweet potatoes. I stopped and got a piece of sweet potato as I have not eaten it for more than a year. I was thinking of slicing it into round pieces and frying them in the pan and eat them with coconut caramel sauce. Do you eat sweet potatoes? How do you cook it? Thanks for reading. I have done my notifications for today. It´s time for me to go to bed as it is almost midnight. Enjoy your Friday and of course your weekend.

All sweet potatoes are very big, I bought once, we both did not like, I never bought again.

@thelme55 They are so big, but the taste is not that good, I think to remember that I ate in the Bahamas and the taste was a lot better.

@LadyDuck I agree with you. The taste is not as good as the taste of our Filipino potatoes.

The sweet potatoes in the Philippines are small and they taste more delicious than what I have bought here. Thanks @LadyDuck

@thelme55 You need a bigger pot! We usually have huge ones, but smaller ones can be found if one looks hard enough. Happy weekend to you!

I am used to seeing small sweet potatoes in the Philippines but this one here in Germany is really so huge. It will not fit my cooking pot. Thanks @DianneN. Have a lovely weekend.

I have never been a fan of sweet potatoes. But many people do like them. They are just not for me. But I'll gladly take those pork steaks though.

Wow thats really big ! I have an easy tip for you. You can boil it and once you get it out of hot water cut it into pieces and add on margarine or butter and sugar just a little to taste and voila you alreay have a healthy snack or desert. Thats how we eat it here .

Yes, it is really big @iKONICNoona. I don´t like butter or margarine and sugar with my boiled sweet potato. I just eat it boiled and nothing else. Thank you and have a nice weekend.

I like sweet potatoes, generally I like to have them roasted. I cut them into small cubes and season them with whatever spices I feel like at the time. Then I just put them on an oven tray with some oil. I have an airfryer, I should really try it with that.
