  1. Wash potatoes and cut in cubes
  2. Heat oven to 180 degrees

  2. Heat pan and add a good amount of oil
  3. Fry for about 20 mins, watching that they don’t burn.

    In the oven:

    1.  Heat oven to 180 degrees
    2. Peel potato and cut in cubes
    3. Put in an oven tray with oil, and cook for about 20 mins, or until soft.

    In the pan:

    1.  Heat pan at 2.5 (on a 1-3 scale) and add oil.
    2. Fry slices or cubes for about 10 mins, or until soft. (Just make sure they don’t burn).

    Make a soup: 

     1 sweet potato in cubes, cover with water. Coo 1/2 hour until mushy. Add salt, pepper and a pinch of cumin.

    Make a salad: 

    Spinach/lettuce, tomato and sweet potato.

    Roasts: 

    • Try roasting them with honey and soy sauce. 1 tablespoon soy sauce. 1.5 honey.
