Notes
- You don’t need to peel your sweet potatoes. You can just cut them up and add in. Try it both ways and see what you prefer.
- Make sure to scrub the sweet potatoes clean, as you don’t want to be tucking into gritty potatoes.
- I prefer to cook the sweet potatoes directly in the insert to avoid washing up, but feel free to cook them on a trivet if you prefer.
- There are 2 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this.
