What kind of potato is tsukune potato? How do you eat it?

Tsukune potato is also called Yamato potato and is a type of long potato.

Unlike yam, it has a rough, rounded shape and is also very sticky.

Grate it and pour it over rice to make grated yam.

It can be grated and used in grated yam soup, or wrapped in seaweed and deep-fried to make a fluffy and delicious dish.

You can also cut it into thin strips or cubes instead of grating it and add it to a salad for a refreshing taste.
