Sweet potatoes are a traditional southern soul food that should be enjoyed more often.

For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal live. John 3:16 (NIV)

Sweet potatoes can be cooked in most of the ways that regular potatoes are. Baked, boiled, or sauted, sweet potatoes are a nutritious dish.

My favorite sweet potato recipe is a baked sweet potato. Prick the sweet potato all over. Then bake the sweet potato in a moderate oven, or microwave until soft to the touch. When done, moisten with a little crushed pineapple and juice, sprinkle with cinnamon. This is a great meal when watching your calories and fat. No butter needed. Or try these Sweet Potato Pancakes for a different presentation.

Sweet Potato Pancakes

1 sweet potato (3/4 pound), peeled and cut into 1 ½ inch chunks
2 tablespoons all purpose flour
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
salt and freshly ground pepper
vegetable oil for frying

1. In a saucepan, cover the sweet potato with cold water and boil until tender, about 10 minutes.
2. Drain and mash until smooth. Stir in the flour, eggs and milk and season with salt and pepper.
3. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil.
4. Spoon batter into skillet by rounded tablespoons. Cook over low heat until browned; flip and brown on the other side.

Makes 12 small sweet potato pancakes.
