sweet potatoes

Sometimes I buy sweet potatoes and keep them around because they don't go bad quickly and they make a good meal when you're in a pinch.

One day I slept in and woke up in a lazy mood, so it was a perfect way to start the day. I washed them, poked holes all around them with a fork, and microwaved them - 5 to 6 minutes, flipping halfway through.

Jonah made his a sweet one, topped with honey and Greek yogurt and peanut butter (!). You could easily use caramel or maple cream, and add spices like cinnamon.

I made mine a savory one, topped with caramelized onions, feta, and pieces of steak. I sprinkled Balti seasoning on the steak and it literally transformed how it tasted. (I can't tell you how much I love Penzeys spices and their spice mixes.)

I made it again for breakfast a different day, this time with shredded Italian cheeses rather than feta. I think I might have liked the feta better, although I microwaved everything so the cheese would melt here, whereas the feta was added on afterward microwaving on the one before.

It wasn't until I ate one half and folded the sweet potato onto itself that I realized it's basically like a Philly cheesesteak, except instead of bread it's sweet potato. No carb cheesesteak!
