Fried potatoes became a classic snack all over the world, but have you ever had fried sweet potatoes?
Sweet potatoes or “satsuma imo” in Japanese, are one of the most basic food in Japan and you can find many sweet or savory dishes made with them.
Grilled or fried sweet potatoes are also very popular and common as street food.
The natural sweet taste is absolutely delicious and feels kind of nostalgic for many Japanese people.
If you go to Odawara castle near Tokyo, you’ll find a stall selling a very big cup of fried sweet potatoes.
It’s a perfect hot snack during autumn or winter.
Look how big it it for only 300 yen!
It’s impossible to eat this alone, so the best is to share it with your friends.
Sweet potatoes have been cut and fried with the skin, then sprinkled with just a little bit of sugar.
The outside is crispy and the inside is very hot and soft.
Since there’s almost no added sugar or chemicals, it’s a nice and natural snack which can be enjoyed by anyone.
