Simple Sweet Potatoes

Well here's something super simple

Ingredients 

  • Sweet Potato
  • Olive Oil
  • Balsamic Vinegar
  • Salt/Pepper (Optional)
Directions
  • Cook the Sweet Potato (simple way - wet a paper towel wrap the potato cook in the microwave for about 4 to 5 minutes)
  • Mash out of the skin
  • Drizzle with Olive Oil and Balsamic Vinegar
The fun part about this is you can experiment with different oils and vinegars. First, I tried a peach balsamic vinegar with a regular oil. Then I tried a Basil Oil with a Fig Balsamic Vinegar. So many options!!! ENJOY!
