Sweet potatoes enjoy warmer climates and grow best down South.
Produce surveys say the sweet potato is more popular in the South than anywhere else. Marketing teams in Louisiana and North Carolina passionately remind consumers that the Center for Science in the Public Interest ranks sweet potatoes as the most nutritious vegetable-ahead of the baked Idaho potato, spinach or broccoli. These dishes highlight both white and sweet potatoes, and if the tasting in our kitchens is any indication, it doesn't matter where you're from. You'll be licking the spoon for every one of these recipes. Share your favorite recipe or serving suggestion here.
