kamotecue

craving for kamotecue lately and i asked kim to buy me some kamote at the supermarket near his office. i wanted my kamotecue to have plenty of sugar coatings... mmmmm... yummmmyyyy... hehehe...

just peel and slice 1-2 the kamote in rings. wash them and pat dry. in a wok, heat about 1 cup of cooking oil and fry the kamote rings for 6-8 minutes. set aside. in the same wok, pour about 1 cup of brown sugar and about 1 tbsp. cinnamon powder over the cooking oil. stir until a little melted. then bring back the fried kamote rings in the wok and stir until coated well with sugar and cinnamon. drain excess oil using strainer or wire rack. when it has cooled a bit, you can place it in a skewer.

i enjoyed the crunchiness of the sugar with cinnamon and the softness of the kamote.

homemade potato chips with cheese-cinnamon dip

i bought this new vegetable peeler from daiso and i got so interested in peeling the potato, so easy compare to my previous peeler. hehehe... then i started to shave the potato after peeling it since i enjoyed what i was doing. hehehe... then i realized what should i do with the shaved potatoes now? so, i line a tray with papers and lay each shaved potato one by one on the paper and placed it outside to dry, i'll make it into potato chips.

i started drying it in the morning (almost noon) and intented to cook it in the evening but since i didn't want to spend so much time in the kitchen that day i cooked it in the morning the next day. i should have cooked it yesterday because it literally turned into starch! almost half of it turned into waste. i couldn't take it off of the paper, i couldn't hold it because it breaks everytime i pick it up.

fortunately, i was able to cook most of it. i deep-fried the pieces of shaved potatoes until golden brown. drained on paper towel. good thing was the cooked ones turned out good. k & m liked it so much they were asking if there were still more. hehehe... it's all natural since i didn't put any salt in it. i dipped it in the cheesed spread i had in the refrigerator and sprinkle some cinnamon powder... and it tasted good as well.
