Sweet potatoes seem to fade into the background until the holiday season for most people. It's too bad since the sweet potato is loaded with nutrition and puts the white potato to shame. Give sweet potatoes a try for health reasons, but of course you have to enjoy what you eat. You can use them as an ingredient in many dishes-from desserts to the main course, and soon you will be craving sweet potatoes all the time. Check out these awesome recipes. As all good cooks do, we start with dessert:

A hearty meal, these sweet potato quinoa patties are delicious, healthy and very filling.
