Sweet Potato And Plantain Delight

Hey! I have something yummy for you to try this weekend. It is absolutely delicious, my family loved it. This is my new twist to having fried Plantain and sweet Potatoes, my way of keeping them moist and soft instead of dry that it almost chokes you while you're eating. With this method you do not necessarily need to have Pap, Custard, Porridge on the side.
