I had no idea that I loved Sweet Potatoes until I was on a health challenge that didn’t have a ton of options for what to eat. In fact, I always thought I didn’t like them until one rainy evening at a dinner party, one of my friends brought sweet potatoes. As I was on a challenge and was really hungry, I thought I could scarf these down and hope for the best. As I bit into the first one, I realized that this starch/vegetable is something I’ve never even given a chance. Wrongfully so. So amazing and just doing a simple search on the internet for health benefits will yield numerous different ways sweet potatoes do nothing but good for the body. Here is the best way the wife and I have found to eat them:
3-4 Sweet potatoes – washed, peeled and cut into cubes
3/4 cup Olive oil
Himalayan Salt
In a large frying pan or skillet, pour in olive oil and then place the sweet potato chunks into the olive oil.
Turn on the burner to medium-low heat.
Allow to simmer turning periodically until sweet potatoes are soft when poked with a fork. Roughly 40-45 minutes.
Remove from heat and sprinkle with Himalayan salt. This works as a great side dish to absolutely any meat. I’ve even occasionally just had this for lunch. If you have high blood pressure or don’t want the salt, it’s not even necessary. The olive oil holds its own with the sweet potatoes.
