This is my first attempt and I must say it was pretty easy to make. You will need:
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
1/2 cup brown sugar
some oil for frying
Peel off the skin of the sweet potatoes and cut them into half-inch thick slices. Submerge the pieces in water to keep them from turning dark before frying. This kind of sweet potato (see photo below) is most suitable for this dish.
Fry them in oil on medium heat til golden brown and drain oil.
In another pan, melt 1/2 cup of sugar, preferably brown, (the white kind was used here because it was the only thing available then) and add the sweet potatoes.
Stir rapidly to evenly coat the pieces and to keep the sugar from quickly turning rock hard. Mind the heat and adjust from medium to low while coating.
Notice how the sugar turns solid again after several seconds so see to it that all pieces are coated.
When dry, it should look like this.
Place Libusaw on a plate and enjoy while hot. Do not cover while hot as this will melt the sugar and leave the potatoes sticky. Enjoy!
