I wanted to make a sweet potato side dish. My kids don't like the spicy red chili pepper usually used in this kind of side dish, so I made this with just sweet potatoes and lotus root.

In the beginning, be sure to fry the sweet potato to a vibrant yellow color. Once cooked, the sweet potato will crumble easily, so instead of using chopsticks, shake the frying pan back and forth to mix. Remove the skins on the sweet potato, if you prefer. Recipe by Run.
