Sweet Potato

Just as sweet, moist and copper-colored as their big brothers, Sweet Potatoes can be used in all the same preparations. Since they’re smaller, they bake faster. Just top with butter, salt and pepper and pop ’em in a hot oven — or to shave off even more time, microwave them in the enclosed tray. Another option — peel, boil or steam and purée to make a rich, thick soup.
