Sweet potato HEAVEN!!!

I've never had a sweet potato before....so I decided to try one today with my lunch.....and AHHHHHH they are SOOO GOOD!!!  I put a bit of butter and brown sugar on it and nomnomnomnom.  It's like a dessert!!  Where have sweet potatoes been all my life??!  Damn me and my previous potato-avoidance!

What else can you put on these things?  I think I might have just fallen in love....with this sweet potato.

I am curious now, *nomnomnom* what other amazing *nom* foods are out there *nomnomnomnom* that I've never tried!

they stay for a while if you keep them in the fridge. I always keep my potatos in the fridge otherwise the start to grow. Not Kool. I wish I had a yummy sweet potato.

to some ones question above about how to make sweet potato fries, just cut a sweet potato into fry size strips. I usually cut the SP in have the half it again and slice. I fry mine (i know bad, but sooooooo gooood) at like 325 for 5-7 min. depending how big the fries are. If anyone knows how to make them crispy in the oven let me know!

Sweet potatoes always go in with courgettes, red onions, mushrooms, cherry tomatoes, peppers, garlic and aubergine for my roasted veg medley. Sprinkle with a pinch of salt and a few rosemary sprigs. Lasts for a few days in the fridge and does a good few meals. Add a roasted chicken or salmon fillet and..... yum yum!

sweet potato fries.
Wash them, cut them up like fries, with or without the skins.  I like to leave the skins on.
I put them in a bowl with some EVOO and mix them up.  Place on a baking tray and cook until a golden brown.  I like mine a bit crispy. 
Serve with some plain yogurt to dip in.

BTW sweet potatoes are the only I can seem to get my Vitamin A levels up.

I LOVE sweet potatoes! I could easily eat one every day. My favorite thing to put on them is almond butter! SO good. Seriously, you have to try it.

We peel them, slice them and eat them raw. They are better than carrots!
