You may be wondering why my Rosemary and Garlic Sweet Potato Medallions in the photo do not look like sweet potatoes.
I know it looks sketchy, but here’s the story.
I’ve made these so many times I don’t know why I never photographed and shared them until now.
But that’s where it all started, when I decided to buy sweet potatoes at the spur of the moment.
On rare occasions, I run into the grocery store without a list and just start grabbing what I can remember I need.
Well it just so happened that the day I bought these “sweet potatoes”, I saw them, made sure they were organic, grabbed them, and brought them home (after paying for them, of course!)
I had to do a double-take after I started slicing them to make sure I didn’t mistakenly started slicing a white potato.
Apparently, there is such a thing as “white” sweet potatoes.
The outside looks like a regular sweet potato and to me they taste like a regular sweet potato…but the insides are white.
So while I wanted to showcase the original “orange” sweet potato, these taste the same, but just look different.
