re: #129 Alouette

You haven’t had sweet potatoes if you have them the way most people prepare them for Thanksgiving—gaggingly sweet in a puddle of maple syrup or brown sugar, and all covered with marshmallows. I make mine cut in half lengthwise, and drizzles with some olive oil, salt and pepper and baked.

I’ll do some sweet potato recipes for the next cookbook. Most people don’t appreciate them anymore from the marshmallow/orange juice crap they’ve been served too many times. They are actually very delicious, nutritious, and very American when done right.
