Recipe Tips
- You’ll get a head start on this recipe if you dice the sweet potatoes the day before… just keep them in an air-tight container in the fridge and they’ll be ready when you are.
- Available year-round in most markets, look for local Canadian sweet potatoes to be at their freshest from early fall into the winter.
- Using a combination of whole eggs and egg whites reduces the fat content, compared to using only whole eggs, since egg whites are fat-free.
