My family adores sweet potatoes. I love making them all year long, not just for Thanksgiving. My favorite way is to bake them, which brings out their natural.
Ingredients
4 medium sweet potatoes (yams) about 5” long, see shopping tips
2 tablespoons reduced-fat butter or Smart Balance Light
Cinnamon, optional
HOW TO MAKE:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Wash and dry each potato and pierce with a fork a few times. Wrap each in foil and place on baking sheet.

4. Remove foil, cut in half and mash each with ½ tablespoon of butter. Sprinkle a little cinnamon on top, if desired.
