Disclosure: The California Sweetpotato Council compensated The Recipe ReDux (co-owned via ReganMillerJones, Inc. and Teaspoon Communications), to sponsor this recipe contest. We aren’t eligible to win prizes related to the competition. I additionally won a field of California sweetpotatoes to make use of for recipe checking out. My ideas and evaluations are my very own.
No, that’s now not a typo within the recipe identify.
There’s a brand new spud on the town by the use of the West coast and it’s the California sweetpotato – as in sweetpotato being one phrase now not two (even though my spell test begs to vary.)
The California Sweetpotato Council is sponsoring this Recipe ReDux recipe problem and is spreading the phrase about those beauties, that are other from different candy potatoes available in the market. Some information about California sweetpotatoes:

- You get all of the Diet A you want for the day in a single medium sized sweetpotato – for best 105 energy.

And as you’ll see above, all aren’t essentially orange. The 3 hottest types come with:
Covington (Orange) – Rose coloured pores and skin and tremendous orange flesh. Nice for roasting and mashing.
O’Henry (Tan) – Faded copper pores and skin and candy, white flesh (it nearly seems like a standard potato!) Nice for soups and stews.
Diane (Purple) – Purple pores and skin and deep orange flesh. Nice for making sweetpotato fries.
I stopped up the usage of a mixture of the O’Henrys and Dianes for those tostadas. Talking of tostadas – a phrase about tortillas basically. A couple of weeks again, I had an epiphany after I made Lindsay @ Lean Inexperienced Bean’s recipe for complete wheat tortillas. So easy, really easy and so scrumptious – I will be able to now not be going again to the packaged ones anytime quickly.
Extra not too long ago, fellow ReDux member, Robin @ Robins Chunk, shared that she took inspiration from the similar recipe and made selfmade corn tortillas from masa.
Now, I didn’t pull it in combination in time to make my very own corn tortillas for this recipe submit. However I plan to cause them to quickly so I will make those yummy tostadas incessantly q4 and iciness when sweetpotatoes and kale are plentiful.
