Ingredients For kamote cue

  • 1 lb
    sweet potato, sliced crosswise (orange flesh)
  • 1 c
    palm sugar or brown sugar
  • 1 c
    cooking oil suitable for deep frying, more as needed
  • white sesame seeds, for garnish (optional)

How To Make kamote cue

  • 1
    Heat the pan on MEDIUM-HIGH then pour in the oil.
  • 2
    Add the brown sugar until it dissolves. If it seems like the brown sugar may start to burn, reduce heat!
  • 3
    Carefully add the potato slices to the pan but do not crowd. (You'll need to fry the slices in batches.) Fry for about 5-10 minutes, turning the slices often to evenly brown and allow the sugar to adhere.
  • 4
    Remove the sweet potato slices from the pan and place on a paper towel to remove excess oil and cool down a bit. Arrange the pieces onto bamboo skewers, garnish with sesame seeds and enjoy!
