that's a big sweet potato

Oh, yes. I love me some sweet potatoes. This one came in my CSA box recently, and it was pretty much love at first sight. I took one look at it and thought it was too big to make into just one dish--I'd have to cook it two ways. A friend of mine brought mashed sweet potato with goat cheese mixed in to a dinner party I was at, and it was phenomenal, so I copied her idea, using half of this beast for mashing, and half for tasty sweet potato oven fries. It wasn't a particularly well-rounded meal, nutritionally, but it was delicious and orange.
