Pasta in sweet potato-cream sauce with sweet potato crisps on top (photo: Walla! system, Michal Levy Alhalal)
If you like pasta in rosé sauce or pasta in cream and mushroom sauce, you're going to love this sauce, which I think easily surpasses the previous two.
Sweet potato sauce with cream, creamy, wintery and velvety.
The sweet potato gives the sauce a great taste and sweetness, so the sauce is also very popular with children and a great way to incorporate the tatamam root into the menu.
I made crispy chips from the sweet potato skins in a few minutes, also to add some fun crispiness on top of all this wonderful creaminess, also because it's a shame to throw away such a wonderful raw material and mainly because it's simply a delicacy.
