Sweet Potatoes

My daughter loves sweet potatoes and this is the way she eats them. Although she insists on using a sprinkle of brown sugar, I refuse to argue with a kid who loves a food so full of vitamins A, C plus niacin and potassium.

Ingredients:

One sweet potato

1 tablespoon brown sugar

Scrub the skin of the potato (no need to peel it) and poke a few holes in it with a fork.

Wrap in foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes.

Or, microwave (without foil) for 7-10 minutes or until soft.

Cut open and sprinkle with brown sugar. I think the potato is sweet enough by itself.
