Not only do I love the taste of sweet potato, the amount of nutritional benefits you can get from sweet potatoes are simple astounding. I have switched out the white potatoes in many recipes and now use a sweet potato in its place.
Sweet potatoes work well in almost any dish, it adds subtle sweet & earthy notes while providing valuable nutrition! How can you say no to that?
There is a difference between a yam and a sweet potato but I use the word interchangeable. Yams have more health benefits than sweet potatoes but they are more difficult to find. If you do find them however try the red yam which is so yum. I buy organic which have to be used more promptly than a non organic potato, because they will go bad faster.
Check out of some of my other sweet potato recipes like this apple upside down sweet potato cake, and these egg free flax-seed sweet potato muffins, or you can just keep it traditional and try these candied yams, or the stove top sauteed version. You can also try this healthy version of candied yams which has nuts and apples to boot!
