Sweet potatoes are said to be better than normal white potatoes because they have less calories, more Vitamin C and more fibres than the usual potatoes. Granted, they are sweeter and hence, have a bit more sugar, but that’s what makes them taste so good! Besides ordering sweet potato fries from Macdonald’s, we have some pretty delicious recipes for you to try out!

Korean-style sweet potato pizza

This pizza uses mashed sweet potato as a base, and almost anything can go on top of it. One good thing is that the base crust is steamed, so it’s pretty healthy too! One tip: even though it usually comes with chilli topping sauce, Singaporean tastebuds will usually be more accustomed to the taste of mayonnaise paired with cheese when it comes to pizza!

Five-Spice Sweet Potato Pie

The five-spice powder is a traditional Chinese ingredient. This East-meets-West fusion recipe is bound to impress even the strictest mother-in-law *winks*.

Carrot-sweet potato-ginger soup

This might be a handful of a name, but it’s slurp-licious. It’s a fairly simple meal to make – just cooking and heating a few ingredients in a pot. Pairing it with a baguette will give you a full meal that is also nutritious at the same time.

Sweet Potato-Pecan Pancakes

Pancakes can be eaten anytime of the day. However, the traditional ones tend to be less-filling so replace some of the flour with sweet potatoes for a full meal!

This dish will appeal to the tastebuds of both children and adults alike. Its sweet taste (courtesy of the brown sugar, milk and vanilla used) is bound to be popular with everyone. It tastes a little similar to mac-n-cheese, which is also made in a similar fashion.

Honey-Roasted Sweet Potatoes With Honey Cinnamon Dip

This is a healthier alternative to potato chips – and equally, if not more, as delicious. The honey and cinnamon makes a lovely contrasting taste!

Sweet Potato Garlic Knots

They are like pretzels, only better! The bread-like texture and way of baking makes it a perfect choice for a filling and tasty breakfast.

Sweet Potato-Pecan Burgers with Caramelized Onions

In this burger, the patty is made from sweet potatoes and a variety of other spices, replacing the meat. Vegetarians will love this recipe.
