Personal Notes:
Kafta wa batata is truly a meat and potatoes dish. It is a meal that is loved by adults and children alike. Mom usually made this meal when the grandkids were going to be visiting because she knew that the kids would eat well. This is probably one of my favorite meals, and my kids happen to agree with me.
