But, I also think that too much of it can be too sweet!
This is why I am very grateful for white flesh sweet potatoes- Paleo friendly and not as sweet at all- so they are perrrrrrfect for a baked potato.
I made dinner for my sister and friend Emma last week- Emma requested stuffed sweet potatoes after seeing the ones i previously made. I decided to make them a little differently.
Instead of cutting them in half and making them stuffed skins style, I kept them whole and in baked potato shape.
For the filling I used Turkey mince meat and Chorizo, instead of Chicken pieces. I was very very happy with the results. Especially because I baked a mix of orange & white flesh potatoes which reduced the sweetness. Delicious!
