Sweet Potatoes and Lotus Root Sauté

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.

Sweet Potatoes with Butter Soy Sauce Sweet Potatoes with Butter Soy Sauce
New potatoes have a light flavor, so I thought they might go well with butter and soy sauce and I created this recipe. My potato loving daughter loves these.Be sure to dry out the boiled potatoes in the pan until they're covered with a fine coating of potato flour before adding the butter and soy sauce. By evaporating any excess water, the flavors will blend better. The skins of new potatoes are delicious too, so wash them well and eat them whole. This recipe is delicious with regular potatoes too!
