 What’s not to like about a sweet potato? While its origins lie in Peru, the sweet potato was brought to the Western World by Columbus. This delicately flavored tuber is so versatile – from simply baked to garnished with exotic flavors and ingredients. Sweet potatoes are often called yams, but this is incorrect. The two vegetables are not even from the same family! Try this Sweet Potato Surprise recipe this year instead of the more mundane mixture of sweet potatoes, marshmallows and brown sugar.
