For dinner tonight I made one of my favorite foods-sweet potatoes. I love sweet potatoes! I never even tried a sweet potato until we bought the farm and I am sad to confess that I missed out on something wonderful for a good many years.
Now for my quirky reveal-I do not really care for sweet things. So the first time I made a sweet potato I made it the way that would be more savory. I made it onions and a bit of olive oil. Oh so delightful and the only way I have ever eaten them!
The sweet potato is an incredibly healthy food. Please jump over to World's Healthiest Foods and read about them here- you will be amazed!
My recipe:
One sweet potato and one medium onion
washed and peeled-save the peelings...
pour about 2 tablespoons of olive oil in oldest dinged skillet or pan you may have! (ignore creepy reflection in oil~blame dinged pan)
Cut up the sweet potato into small pieces slice onion in rings
Put pan on medium heat...cook for a bit and eat!For the record: The peelings are for the turkeys. It is November and some things need to fatten up for a certain day. Not saying it will be something either of us enjoy, but the end result will be appreciated by the farm family!
The photos are from my cell phone. Seems like it is a glorified camera far more than a machine to text or chat...so by glorified we can all agree that I mean photos in a hurry that I can quickly zip to my computer, open-download and post.
Oh and Bill's comment? Delicious.
My comment? Superb!
Kids comments? You made sweet potatoes? Ugh we only went to the movies and missed out!!

mmmm....looks yummy! another way that i do sweet potatoes is like normal baked potatoes. leave the skin on the potatoe. pierce it several times all over with a fork, rub olive oil all over it, salt it and put it in the oven at 350F for an hour. take it out, cut it half, mash it up a bit, tons of butter - yummeh!
thanks for sharing Jen!
your friend,

Baked!! I will try this next Kymber- thanks!!!
I don't care for sweet potatoes, but it is MY job to make them for holidays. You know, the marshmallows and the whole nine yards. Everybunny likes them, but I won't even taste them to see if they're OK! I am always careful to choose the longest and the littlest around ones, they are easier to peel AND cut. I would never use a sweet potato out of a can....
Oh Mo Bunny- I would never eat them out of a can either. I cannot imagine sweet potatoes with marshmallows. I laughed when you said you would not taste them...as I would not either. I cannot believe so many eat them this way...sigh!! thanks for stopping by!
