CAMOTE CUE

INGREDIENTS • 2 sweetpotatoes, peeled and sliced about 1/2-inch thick • 2 cups brown sugar • 1 cup vegetable oil • Wooden skewers INSTRUCTIONS 1. In pot, heat oil until boiling. 2. Carefully add sliced sweetpotato without overcrowding; cook about 5-8 minutes. 3. Add sugar; when sugar has melted completely, begin to stir so that the caramel coats the sweetpotatoes. 4. When they are generously coated with caramel, with a slotted spoon, remove sweetpotato from oil.

Baking: Poke holes into sweetpotatoes to allow steam out, otherwise they will burst
