Sweet Potatoes with Fruit Cut-up or Mashed**

SWEET POTATOES AND FRUIT CUT-UP OR MASHED

NOTES:

Sweet potatoes are delicious plain, but even better with fruit. This is a staple for me.
Mashed sweet potatoes (without skins) are pictured above, but it's quicker just to cut them up, with the skins.
The visual appearance of cut-up sweets isn't terrific, so the mashed version is good if you're serving it to others.
The only reason to remove the skins is for visual appearance. If you do, cut them into strips and broil them until they're a little crunchy, they're delicious.
Everyone should keep cooked sweet potatoes in the fridge at all times, so they’re ready-to go.
Cut-up oranges seem to be the best fruit for this by far for some reason. Blueberries are also great. Apples and other fruits work also. .
This is a hearty, filling, satisfying and 100% healthy meal that you can have anytime: breakfast, lunch or dinner.
You absolutely don’t need butter or sweetener. If you think you need a sweetener, get over it and add more fruit.
Sweet potatoes taste a little better baked, but also delicious micro-waved or boiled.
At 400 calories per pound, and with a very high satiety index, potatoes are a health food that helps people lose weight. One of Chef A.J.s top three tips for ultimate weight loss is to "Eat Potatoes!" ("You've been depriving yourself for far too long!")
Most (but not all) plant-based health authorities encourage consumption of white potatoes, but they all endorse sweet potatoes, which are even healthier.
