Kamote Cue

I would say that Kamote Cue is one of the top selling meryenda because it is affordable and filling (it can
make you feel full for several hours)– not to mention that it tastes good especially with a cold bottle of
soda or water by the side. This can also recharge your energy temporarily (carbs and sugar combined
makes you hyperactive 🙂 ).

Instructions

Heat the pan and pour the cooking oil.

Let the cooking oil heat-up then put-in the brown sugar.

When the brown sugar floats, put-in the sweet potato and fry for 7 to 10 minutes. Flip the sweet potato
once in a while to allow the sugar to stick.

Remove the sweet potato from the pan one after the other. You could directly skewer the fried sweet
potatoes once removed from the pan.

Let it cool down for a few minutes then serve. Share and Enjoy.
