Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

6 small sweet potatoes

3/4 cup plain nonfat yogurt

1/2 cup warm cooked rice

Salt -- to taste

White pepper -- to taste

 

Here's a simple, yet delicious way, to prepare sweet potatoes.

 

Preheat the oven to 450 degrees. Score the surface of the sweet potatoes

with a fork several times, and bake until tender, about 35 to 40 minutes.

Slit each one down the middle and remove a couple of tablespoons of flesh

to make room for the filling. Wrap the potatoes in foil and set aside.

 

In a separate bowl, combine the yogurt, rice, salt and pepper. Place the

potatoes on a serving dish. Fold back foil to make a " boat " and spoon in

the filling. Makes 6 servings.

 

Variation: Replace some of the rice with wild rice, add chopped herbs and

dried apricots and garnish with toasted pecans.
