I love sweet potatoes not only as they're a cheap, nutritious and delicious vegetable but also because they're seriously versatile. They're perfect for savoury dishes such as soups, curries and salads but their natural sweetness and creamy texture means they're an amazing substitute for bananas in desserts. Cooked sweet potatoes blend up beautifully to make sweet treats such as buttercream and brownies, whilst frozen cooked sweet potatoes are perfect blended up to make ice cream and milkshakes!
