I have always enjoyed a good sweet potato. It didn’t really matter how they were prepared.
When I was young, we were basically a white potato family — baked, twice-baked, fries, fried, hash brown casserole. You get the idea.
However, sweet potatoes did get worked into the holiday menus and I was hooked. I loved the color and variety of ways they could be prepared.
When I was teaching, we often used sweet potatoes in dishes like sweet potato pie as well as several ways to adapt traditional white potato dishes.
The thing about sweet potatoes is that they are pretty healthy… that is, if you do not slather them with butter, brown sugar and marshmallow creme!
