One Thing, Three Way: Sweet Potatoes

The three products I will show you how to make, which cumulatively utilizes the whole sweet potato are:

1. Sweet Potato Casserole
2. Sweet Potato Brownies
3. Sweet Potato Skin Chips

My favorite technique for cooking sweet potatoes is slow roasting. My recipe for this you can find here. Once you cook the sweet potatoes, you can utilize the following recipes to make sure you get something delicious from the skin and the flesh! (unless you just want to eat the sweet potato whole, which is delicious too)
