Sweet Potato Recipe

Mom’s Baked Sweet Potatoes - The contractors remodeling my kitchen pointed out a sweet potato laying on the shelf in the living room. Only in the home of a personal chef! Did you know that sweet potatoes have nearly twice the fiber of white potatoes? While they both provide potassium, the sweet potato also is rich in vitamin C and beta-carotene. So why not serve a sweet potato now and then? Here is my mom’s recipe for baked sweet potatoes. Select small to medium size nicely shaped sweet potatoes for this recipe. Scrub the potato, prick the skin with a fork and bake at 400 degrees until done, about 40 minutes. Serve with a dab of butter and cinnamon sugar to sprinkle over the top.
