Sweet Potatoes are 100 times better than plain potatoes. There high in antixidants and a great way to get your carbs. Just eat them without the brown sugar.

I love Sweet Potatoes (Yams)

I cook them in a pan on the stove with a tablespoon of olive oil.

Then I put some ketchup on them and a tiny tiny dash of salt.

But that's just how I like em'

They are extremely healthy for you.
I could probably do without the salt & ketchup though.

Well, use raw tomatoes instead since they are a excellent source of vitamin C, folate, and Potassium.

I love baked sweet potato. I substitute that for regular potato and white rice.
