Sweet Potato Recipes

Last trip to Costco I noticed something that made me very, very, very happy, and I am not talking about all the excellent Christmas gifts, decorations and books they now have in stock, although that worked too!

I saw the cases of SWEET POTATOES!

Sweet potatoes are in stock, it makes me so happy! They are only available at Costco this time of year, and the price is excellent! So I tend to buy a case every time we go! After all, this is the only kind of potatoes we can have in our home due to allergies, and the cases keep for a long time in the garage! (Do not store them directly on the cement, bad idea)

One of my favorite recipes for sweet potatoes is sweet potato fries. It is very simple, heat oven to 375F. Peal sweet potatoes and slice into fries (think 1 cm square-ish). Toss with olive oil and italian seasoning. Cook for 25 minutes, flip them all over, cook for about another 20ish minutes, or until done to your liking.

What are some of your favorite recipes for sweet potatoes? I am looking for some new ones!

Yum! We also like to eat them as fries, because they're healthier than normal potatoes. I like to dress mine with olive oil and chili powder before baking.

Oh yum!! I love cooking for family gatherings during the holidays, because I get to buy an entire case of sweet potatoes.

I have a tasty sweet potato casserole recipe from my years of living in the "south" ... now that we have moved back to NW Pennsylvania, I can't get bushels of sweet potatos at the farmer's market. Are you interested in the casserole recipe? Angie

My husband grows sweet potatoes in our garden here in Michigan. Because we get so many, we peel and cook them up on the stove, mash, and freeze. Just like mashed potatoes, only sweet ones!
