savory skillet sweet potatoes.

when you go paleo or primal and cut wheat and a bunch of grain out of your diet, the sweet potato become your best friend.

well, at least it's supposed to.

truth is, around here there aren't very many sweet potato fans. the boys will barely touch them and will quickly opt for whatever else they can get away with. i like them, but generally with lots of butter and sugar so that's pretty much out, too.

and then we found the best and quickest way ever to make them. (which really just means everyone loves them (!), and that's really exciting.)

savory skillet sweet potatoes
serves 4
ingredients
2-3 large sweet potatoes, washed, peeled and cubed
2 tbsp grassfed butter or ghee (you might need to add a bit more as they cook to keep them from sticking to the pan)
salt and pepper

directions
heat butter in large skillet over medium heat. add sweet potatoes and stir to coat with butter. turn burner down slightly, cover and stir occasionally until soft (usually about 10 minutes).

enjoy!
