Sounds wonderful, I will use my food processor to grate the potatoes.
Thank you
All chili powders are not created equal and of course everyone’s taste buds are different, so you can for sure bring it down to 1-2 teaspoons.

I made it this week and it was WAY to spicy. Should it be 1-2 tsp of chili powder?
8 cups grated is approximately 2 pounds
I found grated sweet potatoes in my grocery store, rather than grating them myself. How many cups of grated sweet potatoes comes from 2 pounds? Thanks.
They are grated, you can do it by hand with a box grater or using a food processor.
How are the seeet potatoes prepared? Grated, sliced….
