*Note: True Sweet Potatoes are more white/pale yellow in color inside & out. And have a true sweet/honey smell when cooked. Most "sweet potatoes that people think of are actually yams, the brown/orange outside & bright orange inside. But they are interchangeable ( I think the true sweet potatoes are actually sweeter)
Biscuits: Mix 1/2 cup mashed sweet potato with 1/3 cup buttermilk. Combine 2 1/4 cups all-purpose baking mix(Bisquick) with potato mixture & another 1/3 cup buttermilk. Mix to form dough. Knead 12 times on a surface coated with the baking mix. Roll out to 1/2 in. cut into rounds. Bake on an ungreased baking pan for 10 minutes in a 450* oven.
Stuffed: Microwave 2 sweet potatoes for 6 minutes. Mix together 2 Tbsp each coconut flakes & chopped pecans & 1 Tbsp each melted butter & brown sugar. Make a slit in potato; top with filling. Bake 400* oven for 12 minutes.
Roasted: Peel & cube 3 sweet potatoes. Toss with 1 slice red onion, 2 Tbsp canola oil, 1 tsp each cinnamon & cumin, & 1/2 tsp salt. Transfer to a baking sheet & roast in 400* oven for 25-30 minutes until fork tender.
