 Sweet potatoes were never a staple in our home growing up. My mother almost has a physical reaction if you even mention the name! The only time I ever saw anyone cooking with sweet potatoes was for the customary sweet potato casserole during the holidays. Never did I imagine that one day I would be eating sweet potatoes basically weekly.
It wasn’t until living in New Zealand that I saw sweet potatoes being eaten as fries. Fast forward to the present and I have learned the true versatility of the sweet potato. While you can of course always bake or mash them, I want to share 5 surprising ways sweet potatoes can be used in some very fun, and of course OvercomingMS-friendly, recipes!

Amanda, I laughed so hard when I read this blog. You are so correct about my reaction to sweet potatoes. But, because of you I have gotten better and have tried your recipes and those in the Overcoming MS recipes and they are so good that I can't tell they are sweet potatoes. :) Love, Mom Leave a Reply. |
