It’s sweet potato season and it’s very likely that you’ll be seeing, and eating more of it in the coming days. It’s usually served as a side on Thanksgiving day, but its use doesn’t have to end there: it can be served as a fried snack, for dessert, as a flan and even in delicious cakes. It’s truly a versatile ingredient! Today, I invite you to try them stuffed with ground beef, eggs and topped with cheese. This perfect combination of sweet and savory will delight you. Try it!
