sweet potatoes, mashed, as a dessert too!

i LOVE sweet potatoes. with their orange color, they are packed full of vitamins. you can multiply the recipe for as many guest you are having or to have leftovers.

my FAVORITE way to to eat them is cold...as a dessert. yes as a dessert. to me, cold it taste like pumpkin pie, without the high calorie crust. i have to limit myself to one serving a day when it's in the fridge.

i have portioned it out in 1 cup, but can easily be cut in half to reduce the calories and still have plenty of vitamins.
