My favourite vegetable has to be the humble potato.
It's amazing how there are so many ways to serve them.

One of my favourites has to be this one.

Why give up potato? Is quite healthy and a staple
for most main meals.

Just trying to cut carbs and prefer sweet potato. But I am going to try Suzanne's recipe, for a treat.

Could never understand the hype surrounding sweet potato. I've only had it once and found it to be more sour than sweet.

I buy a bag of sweet potato; I try to get smaller ones. I wash and dry them and slice them almost through all the way along (like saddle back potato). rub them with a mixture of olive oil and minced garlic and sprinkle with mixed herbs. (Be generous) Arrange on a baking tray and bake till golden and starting to crisp on top.
I allow them to cool (the ones I don't eat) and wrap separately in cling wrap and freeze until I want one with another meal. Defrost in the fridge and reheat in the microwave. I hope you try this it may change your mind.
