How to Cook Sweet Potatoes in a Sweet Potato Souffle and Sweet Potato Casserole

When you look at how to cook sweet potatoes you will find many of the recipes are like dessert recipes.Although these sweet dishes are very delicious, I also love them baked like you bake a regular white potato.

The sweet potato is only a distant relative to the white potato. It is very easily confused with the yam and very often is labeled with sweet potato and yam.

The flavor is all in how to cook sweet potatoes.
