Camote cue or camotecue is a popular snack food in the Philippines made from camote ( sweet potato). Slices of camote are coated with brown sugar and then fried to cook the potatoes and to caramelize the sugar. [1] It is one of the most common street foods in the Philippines, along with bananacue and turon. [2]
The term is a portmanteau of " camote" and " barbecue", the latter in Philippine English refers to meat cooked in a style similar to kebabs. [3] Though served skewered on bamboo sticks, it is not cooked on the stick. The skewer is purely for easier handling as it is usually sold as street food.
