This purple potato is a local fave for good reason. Switch up your cooking routine with these 5 `ono-licious ways to use Okinawan Sweet Potato.
1. Sweeten the Deal

4. Fry Them Up
Break out the air fryer to achieve satisfyingly crisp sweet potato fries, deep fry thin slices for homemade chips, or lightly batter for golden Okinawan Sweet Potato tempura.
