Delicious! And so simple.
They will keep in the fridge for a couple of weeks.
I've also tried this technique with jicama. I'm sure other vegetables would also work.
Just found your blog through the VO! Very cool! I absolutely love sweet potatoes, so I just might have to try this recipe. My Mom is even growing sweet potatoes in her garden, so I can get some from her to use!
