Fresh Ugandan sweet potato in a 1kg pack. Ugandan sweet potatoes have a white or pale flesh and a drier, less sweet character than the deep-orange American sweet potatoes common in UK supermarkets — closer to a regular potato in texture and only mildly sweet on the palate. Particularly important in East African cooking, where they're boiled, roasted, or fried as a foundation starch alongside stews and sauces. The 1kg pack contains enough for a family meal. Peel and chop into chunks; boil, roast, or fry as the dish demands. A familiar staple across UK African diaspora households.
