Have never had taro prepared this way…they surely look very crisp and tasty, Beena.
I love taro roots but have not tasted taro roots cooked this way. I might try this out when the next time I harvest my taro roots from my garden.
I like both the taro and potatoes. While its always potatoes, this taro recipe is truly an inviting change.
Lovely fry! Makes a good side dish.
