Thanks for sharing! I just found the site trying to find some info on how to grow sweet potatoes in Portugal as Winter is coming and I don’t know if my plants can overwinter! Well this site was a nice surprise.
I have a favourite sweet potato recipe that makes a great vegetarian (or not) dish. I hope someone will enjoy it! Simple as can be: just chop a few vegetables of your choice, including onion; stir fry in olive oil in a large frying pan with a little salt and slices of fresh ginger (optional); when these are almost cooked, add some cubes of boiled sweet potato (boiled in water and salt for about 15 minutes) and, before serving, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as coriander or whatever you have. Enjoy!
