    I gotta see what sweet potatoes are all about. I’ve eaten them individually baked, but not as like, an ingredient.

      Very similar in texture and use as other potatoes. They are softer and create a looser mash. So, if you have something that would be good with potato, and a sweet component to the flavor would compliment the other aspects of the meal, sweet potatoes are a great thing to give a shot in place of normal ones. They make a number of good desserts as well.

      Welcome to the wonderful world of sweet potatoes! They make a great thickener in stews as well if you cook them long enough to break them down.
