Sweet Potatoes

Here's a sweet idea.

Sweet potatoes are a wonderful side dish and very nutritious. I like them baked with a little salt and pepper. You may add butter, brown sugar, marshmallows, nutmeg, cinnamon etc. Bake at 400° until tender, time depends on the size of the potato an hour or more usually. Make sure to place on a pan because the sugars will drip and burn on the bottom of the oven. You can use the microwave. They are also great boiled use like an Idaho potato.

Generally at the produce department sweet potatoes are the cream colored ones and yams are orange, however both are called sweet potatoes frequently. My favorite are the yams, but both are delicious.
