Top Rated Sweet Potato Recipes (for every course!)

If you didn’t know, now ya do – February is National Sweet Potato Month!! 

There are so many health benefits from eating sweet potatoes that it’s hard to not love ’em. They taste delicious but considering that they are also great sources of vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin C, vitamin D, iron, magnesium, potassium, and carotenoids (read more nutritional information at care2.com) – we should be eating these things with every meal!!

Sweet potatoes are also very versatile because they can be cooked a multitude of ways. Because they are indeed sweet, sweet potatoes can replace conventional sugars in some recipes. They absorb flavor well so they make a great addition to stews while also adding a hearty texture. Sweet potatoes can be fried, mashed, roasted, steamed, or baked. There really isn’t much you can’t do with them.

“You’re no potato. I yam!”

Hahahahaa.
