Name: How to cook batata
Ingredients: Batata

This is a batata. The flesh is somewhat pinkish with brown spots. It is grown in the Caribbean and has a flavor that is similar to a sweet potato, yet more starchy.

It is a sweet potato variety, you can use the batata the same you would a sweet potato. You can bake it,fry it,roast it, boil it etc.

Its an exotic veg., it might be hard to find. Check the Spanish markets they usually carry it along with other root veg.such as yucca, yautia, guineo.😀
