Kamote-que

Sweet potatoes are abundant to the Philippines and are grown in almost all parts of the country. They are locally known as kamote. They are cooked in different varieties. Kamote que as they call it, is basically a fried candied sweet potato in a bamboo skewer.

Growing up, we used to eat them as a snack. You can buy them from the street vendors as well. To relive my childhood and enjoy this indigenous snack. I decided to make it. They are easy to make,as simplified as the recipe below.
