Preparation

Step 1

Peel the potatoes and boil in water for about 45 minutes, until soft. Okinawa sweet potatoes take longer than regular potatoes to cook, so make sure they are quite soft.
Drain the water and mash with coconut milk. Add more coconut milk until desired consistency is reached. Add garlic and sea salt and pepper.

Being a traditional Kauaian recipe, this is to be served with aloha.
