| Mashed Sweet Potatoes |
I used to think the only way to eat sweet potatoes was a baked casserole of canned yams with marshmallows on top. Surprise! Sweet potatoes are very versatile, go well with a variety of flavorings, and can taste better than straight out of a can! This simple recipe brings out a savory flavor in the yams.
Fry 3 T. finely chopped onion in a medium pan with 2 T. butter and 1 T. honey. Put on low heat for 10-15 minutes until caramelized. Add and stir to heat:
4 T. cream cheese 1 t. salt 2 T. butter
1/2 t. each: basil, marjoram, oregano
3 c. sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or 1 large can)
Serve immediately; eat like mashed potatoes.

Is there a reason you would use sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes?
White potatoes are higher in starch and sugar than sweet. White potatoes are actually in a different family, which also includes peppers and tomatoes.
Mmm, mmm, mmm.
