“Simple but delicious way to have sweet potato. This could make an interesting vegetarian entree, but is also excellent as a side dish with about half a poblano per person.Topped withr both tomatillo salsa and chiles toreados, both which I have recipes available on my blog.

Ingredients:

• 2 large peppers (poblano peppers, roasted and peeled, seeds cut out)
• 10 ounces sweet potato, cooked and mashed

• Salt and pepper
• Tomatillo Salsa (link below)
