Sony's Okinawa Sweet Potato Recipe. Sony, a food enthusiast from Kaua'i tells me that a little old lady at a grocery store pointed out some dark purple potatoes to him one day and told him how to make this popular Hawaiian recipe. Sony insists that you use sea salt for this recipe, or preferably Hawaiian sea salt, if you can find it!

Ingredients:
- 3-4 purple Okinawa sweet potatoes
- about 1/3 cup coconut milk
- 4 cloves minced garlic
- 1/3 tsp sea salt, to taste
- dash pepper to taste
- aloha
Preparation:
Peel the potatoes and boil in water for about 45 minutes, until soft. Okinawa sweet potatoes take longer than regular potatoes to cook, so make sure they are quite soft.
Drain the water and mash with coconut milk. Add more coconut milk until desired consistency is reached. Add garlic and sea salt and pepper.
Being a traditional Kauaian recipe, this is to be served with aloha.
