Ingredients for 4 servings:

  • 1 kg sweet potatoes
  • 5 tbsp olive oil
  • 6 m.-sized onion(s)
  • 5 tbsp condensed milk
  • Salt and pepper, black, ground
  • e.g. chili powder

Instructions

Working time approx. 10 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 15 minutes; Total time approx. 25 minutes

Sweet potato with fried onions and chili powder

Peel the sweet potato and cut into cubes. Boil in enough water (should cover the sweet potato pieces) for 10 minutes until tender (the cooking time depends largely on the size of the cubes). In a separate pot or pan, heat the olive oil, add the finely chopped onion, and fry. Once the sweet potato is tender, drain the water and either mash the sweet potato with a fork, press it through a sieve, or put it through a meat grinder to form a puree. Return this puree to the pot, add the condensed milk and onions with the oil, and stir well. Heat again if necessary. Then season with salt, pepper, and chili powder and stir well. It is suitable for vegetarians as a side dish with salad (delicious with lamb’s lettuce) or as a side dish with meat.
