Sweet Potato Brulee $4.68

Sweet Potato's have become so much more versitle to me now that I am cooking with only canned potatoes. When they were fresh, I would roast them or fry them. Now, I have tried mashed, in a pie, in a cassarole and now I stumbled upon a brulee recipe that is just to die for. I, and my family absolutely loved it. It was super easy to make since the potatoes didnt have to be boiled, they were already soft. The hint of cinnamon gave it a homey taste and the carmelized brown sugar on top gave it its decadance, and it was once again very healthy. Sweet Potatoes  contain so many good nutrients starting with beta carotene, vitamin A, C, B6 and fiber.
