Just in Time for Thanksgiving: Ugandan Potatoes

11/26/14

This is a special recipe. Although it’s not a traditional Ugandan dish, this recipe was created for COTN by a culinary class at the Rosen College of Hospitality Management in Orlando, Florida, and designed around local, affordable ingredients that can be found in Uganda.

This recipe is part of a larger project in which Rosen students created more than 40 economical and tasty recipes for each of the five countries COTN serves. We'll talk more about that in a future blog post. Stay tuned!

I paired this dish with grilled chicken and steamed vegetables. It made for a delicious, healthy dinner. Side note: due to particular family palates, I did not use cilantro. However, I know the herb will add lovely color and depth to this recipe!

This recipe takes 10 minutes to prepare and 20 minutes to cook. It serves 8 people.
