Sweet Potato



A recipe in the queue called for a sweet potato. Rather than buy an orange-fleshed one with the brown skin known as a yam in North America, I bought a white one. I find that the white ones aren't quite as sweet as the orange ones.

Peel 'em just like a regular Russett potato.


And if you need it for a stew recipe, cut it into a small dice. Remember though that it's a potato. You'll be quite surprised if you unwittingly pop a cube into your yammer thinking it's a square of cheese.


Sweet potatoes, available from Stater Bros. for $1.48/lb. The one I picked up weighed in at 1.09 lbs.


Need a sweet potato recipe? Consider Chicken, Sweet Potato and Kale Stew for a main course or as sides such as Sweet Potato Cottage Fries and Mashed Sweet Potatoes.
