forever in search of a better breakfast, i have started making sweet potato rice porridge. the little import grocery i have started going to was selling me delicious korean sweet potatoes, which cook to a creamy consistency when shredded and added to a zojirushi set to porridge. this week i got the best surprise as they started selling a new potato instead- my partner thinks this is an okinawan sweet potato, but the box i pulled them from wasnt labeled. when i cut it i was surprised by the inside, a vibrant purple reminiscent of ube, which is a similar but perhaps heavier taste ime. i finish it with a heavy splash of milk and a little bit of brown sugar and it is a deliciously velvety breakfast with so little prep i can actually do it myself thanks to the rice maker. i got a rotary grater to make shredding it easier on my hands. i cut a chunk from these very large potatoes, peel it, and shred. it takes an hour to cook but i have other shit to do in the mornings anyway
