Tips from the Pillsbury Kitchens

  • tip 1
    There are two types of sweet potatoes available in most supermarkets. Dark-skinned sweet potatoes with deep orange flesh are more moister and sweeter than the pale-skinned variety with light yellow flesh. For this recipe, the dark-skinned sweet potatoes are ideal.
