My hubby love all the Kizangu varieties (Tuberous plants). Sweet potatoes, in my home, we normally pressure cook them with little salt. eat them as such (ofcourse we peel the skin). we love it. My chithi(mom's sister), used to make it often for us. After coming to my in-law's place i learned how to make podimass with it.This Sweet Potato fry was tried just like that to see whether it tastes great like the normal potato fry. And know what? it did, really did. Try it for yourself.
