Today in our kitchen, we propose baked sweet potatoes, also known as American potatoes, a type of potato grown in tropical regions, with a reddish color, a sweet taste, and rich in starch. Sweet potatoes are a very simple recipe to prepare, but worth trying; they are a simple and tasty side dish, alternative to the traditional yellow or red potatoes. It’s a side dish that pairs well with various types of dishes, such as meat, fish, or mixed dishes. This vegetable is also used in cooking for the preparation of sweets or for flour production. This is a very simple dish, which you can enrich with the spices you like best because their sweet taste lends itself to many combinations. This dish prepared by us is presented with the traditional recipe, but as already mentioned, onions and other aromas can be added as desired. This recipe was given to me by a dear friend, try it in your kitchen too!
