Sweet potato can be used the same way as normal potato. It can be mashed, made into fries or baked. What I love about it is that it lends itself well to slow cooked dishes as it breaks down and forms part of the sauce. With it’s rich orange colour, it blends in well with the colour of the curry, adding a delicious sweetness.
