Doing a Whole30 challenge brought sweet potatoes back into my life. I shunned all potatoes, fruit, and starchy vegetables for far too long. I put them in a “bad food” category. I’m recovered from that thinking. I now know that they are good for me in the proper quantity. They contain vitamin C, niacin, folate, thiamin, vitamin B-6, iron, magnesium, potassium, copper, and manganese. In addition, sweet potatoes feed your gut microbiome and provide fiber. I hope you enjoy these home fries as a side with eggs, salmon, or a substitute for croutons on a salad!
