Purple Home Fries


This is the second time (we bought two) cooking this strange potato-beast.  As I cut the unit into sections, I noticed a white "sap" coming from around the edges and wondered, again, if it was really taro, not a potato.

It looks like a sweet potato on the outside; sort of tan and with some of the usual sweet potato features.


Turns out, it's Hawaiian Sweet Potato and makes a nice homefry.


I love the color and we'll purchase again so an even wilder appearing dish might be made.
Should we try to grow these?  Now we need to learn about growing potatoes and if it's feasible in our Haiku, wet. 600' altitude.
