Over the past year we have gone from being rare sweet potato eaters, to sweet potato super fans. I easily buy ten of them a week just for the two of us. (They have their own grocery list abbreviation – “s. po”). I love using them in so many dinners when we want to eat more healthy. For a light breakfast sometimes David even likes eating simply a baked sweet potato. You can’t be a yam lover for long without thinking to experiment with a twice baked version.
Twice baked potatoes are one of my favorite weeknight dinners, so these sweet potato ones feel even more exciting.
