How To Boil Sweet Potatoes
Sweet potatoes are my childhood root vegetable which I used to plant and grow in my village. It is always best eaten with malakwang. Other sauces such as peanut sauce (binyewa), stews of any kind are great too. Some of my children enjoy eating it, some don't. It could be because I didn't introduce it early enough to the ones that don't. However, they still eat the Jamaican sweet potatoes, especially when roasted in the oven.
