What I love about any recipe is to find a variety of ways to change it up. I know I use the word “versatile” in several of my recipes, but that is one things I am always looking for. Fried sweet potatoes are one of those fabulous “Lego” piece ingredients that you can add almost anything to. They can be served as a side dish, or just add any meat protein and you have just created a tasty dish. You can never have too many sweet potatoes around to use. Sweet potatoes also come in several different varieties that are fun to mix and match such as purple, blue, white (Hannah), jewel, garnet….. The list is very extensive. Explore different kinds any chance you get. They are all delicious!
