This sounds delicious Alan. I may try it some day soon. I love sweet potatoes and we have baked sweet potatoes (yams) quite often as a change of pace from the normal starchy white potato or rice dish.

Believe it or not but I read where it makes for a great healthy breakfast.

That sounds good also Alan. Hmmm. I wonder how it would be for breakfast with a poached egg added to the mix. We see the white sweet potatoes here in the markets too. I don't remember ever seeing anything but yams when we lived up North. The white sweet potatoes are not as sweet as the yams but are quite good simply mashed with a pat of butter melted over the top.
