Sweet potatoes are versatile and may be eaten as fries with salt or they may be cooked or oven-baked without sugar. However, this caramelized version is heavenly – and, granted – probably loaded with calories, but oh, so worth the naughty if enjoyed only once in a while. Once cooked, the sweet potatoes are mashed but they may also be served as sweet, glazed chunks.
