Sweet potatoes are one of those ingredients I always keep around. They're affordable, naturally sweet, packed with nutrients, and somehow manage to fit into almost any meal. Whether you're making a cozy casserole for Sunday dinner or crispy fries for a busy weeknight, sweet potatoes never disappoint.

I've used them in everything from soups and fritters to sheet pan dinners and breakfast bakes. Even my picky eaters don't complain when sweet potatoes show up on the table (especially when there's a little cheese involved!).
