Among the groceries that my mom gave me the other day were eight sweet potatoes. EIGHT! I decided that instead of “wasting” them by simply microwaving them and adding butter, I would use at least a few of them to make something I’ve never made before.

Right away I knew I would be making sweet potato fries.  The level of excitement that I reach when I go to a restaurant and see sweet potato fries on the menu is RIDICULOUS! I also knew I’d be making sweet potato chips (time to put all of my Apple Chip-making experience to use!).

I headed to the internet in search of some other cool sweet potato recipes, and I was not disappointed. I got all of these recipes from Health.com, WomensHealthMag.com, and SouthernLiving.com. Some of them will need to be “healthified” a little bit – especially the desserts! But I WILL be making these recipes sometime in the next two weeks.

And here we go:

1. Sweet potato fries

2. Sweet potato chips

3. Baked Sweet Potato Latkes

4. Sweet Potato and Spinach Quesadillas

5. Sweet Potato Soup

6. Sweet Potato Fettuccine

Desserts:

7. Sweet Potato Casserole

8. Sweet Potato-Pecan Cupcakes With Cream Cheese Frosting

9. Sweet Potato Pie with Marshmallow Meringue

10. Ginger-Sweet Potato Cheesecake

Stay tuned!
