generally known as the okinawan purple sweet potato--beni imo--but on guam, known as the rota sweet potato, as the nearby island is the main producer of this crop.
i like these better than the yellow or orange sweet potatoes (are the yellow ones yams? i get confused), as they are quite dense and starchy but not dry, and have an almost nutty taste to them. and they are crazy purple.

My oldest daughter would LOVE the purple mashed potatoes. Her favorite color is purple and her favorite food is potatoes! LOL.

hey ro
thanks for stopping by! if you fry them, the insides stay a beautiful jewel-y purple too. but i don't think i'd pair it with those hideous multicoloured ketchups, though. too scary.

Hi Santos,
I love Okinawan sweet potatoes. BTW...the Annual Okinawan Festival just concluded this past Sunday... I missed it! =( Too bad, as I was dreaming of the andagi!
