Sweet potato question

How often is it ok for a sweet potato? Should it be an occassional choice? I had one last night (actually I cut it in half since it was large) & want to have the other half soon but I don't want to "overdo" on a potato.

Whats the recommendation? Anything I should know about sweet potatoes?

TIA!

Sweet potatoes count as a starch/grain serving.

Thank you! It makes perfect sense! Guess I was just a little scared by the "potato" word.

Glad to hear its okay within my 3 grains per day cuz it was soooo yummy w/ smart balance on it!

That's how I eat them too! I often have a sweet potato w/smart balance and a salad as my dinner.
