I saw this recipe on Lifo and made it with some variations!!
I was looking for something to do with leftover sweet potatoes!!
Personally, I hadn't worked much with sweet potatoes and realized I was missing out!!
Fantastic taste, especially combined with ground beef and cheese, it's AMAZING!!
The only thing to watch out for is baking the potatoes, which takes a while but is worth it!!

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!

Potato Dumplings with Sweet & Savory Sauce Potato Dumplings with Sweet & Savory Sauce

I received potatoes from Hokkaido, so I made these.In Step 1, soak the potato in a bowl of water briefly before cooking!In Step 4, cook the dumplings until they are slightly browned. They taste better that way when they're coated with the sauce, which will flavor the dumplings.If you like lots of sauce, double the amount of the sweet-savory sauce. Recipe by bvivid

I wanted to increase my repertoire for cod, since my daughter loves it, so I came up with this version with a veggie-packed sweet vinegar ankake sauce.Prepping the cod well eliminates the unpleasant fishy smell and helps keep it from breaking apart while cooking.Thinly slicing the green pepper horizontally will soften its texture.If you will prepare your katakuriko slurry with the method shown here, you'll be able to avoid lumps.
