PART OF Seasonal Cooking: Winter
The delightfully orange sweet potato (or "yam," as it's sometimes called) is a winter essential. With more nutrition value than a normal potato, it's perfect when mashed, baked, roasted, candied, or even in potato salad. It makes some of the simplest soup you'll ever have, and may be the only vegetable that pairs so well with marshmallows!
"Tasty and healthy. I followed the directions except for the white wine. Very different and of course, slightly sweet. Very good with crusty bread. The second bowl I added some hot sauce, YUMMY!"
