The sweet potato is sweet, but not the high-calorie indulgence most people think. It has 105 calories per 3½ ounces, about the same as a regular white potato. It is not even a potato but a member of the morning glory family. It is packed with Vitamin A and beta-carotene. This high-fiber food is a wonderful way to add color and variety to a meal.
This recipe makes eight servings.
