How To Make Sweet Potato Porridge Quick And Easy

Are you looking for a quick but healthy and delicious meal to cook

Here is one of my favorite home made fast food

Sweet potato porridge is one of the easy and fast meals to make at home

It’s delicious, tasty and sweet, 

As the name goes they are actually sweet and even serve as sweeteners in some recipes.

Sweet potatoes are one of the well known tubers in Nigeria 

And they are available in the market all year round.

I find them very handy when yam is expensive.

This tuber can also be added to beans when making bean porridge, the same way yam or plantain is added when cooking beans.

You can also combine yam and sweet potato to make porridge as well.

Sweet potato cooks fast and to reduce the cooking time cut them into smaller slices.

The cook time will vary depending on the quantity and the size of the tuber.

Now let me show you how to make this tasty meal.
