Baked sweet potatoes with herbal dressing

We love sweet potatoes. Compared to regular white potatoes, the sweet potatoes contain more vitamin A and of course they also taste very different. White the white potato has a rather neutral flavor, the sweet potato is, well you guessed it, very sweet. It almost resembles a pumpkin. Like with regular white potatoes, a sweet potato can also be used in lots of different ways such as baked, boiled, fried - yes, even turned into French fried (which we love)! They make for a wonderful side dish for things like meatballs or a good steak on the grill.
