Potato Eggs with Sweet Potatoes

Hello Dear Friends,

I love mashed potatoes, it was one of my favorite meals when I was a student. It is always one of my first choices if I am hungry and want to take the easy way out and eat something delicious.

I was glad to see sweet potatoes at the grocery store 2 weeks ago. You might say why are you so glad you're a big potato, but it's not :) I don't know if you have followed the programs of foreign chefs, but it is an ingredient that is used a lot in most of them, especially in America. It is included in many recipes from porridge, bread, cake, soup and dessert. It is even a vegetable that comes out of the baskets frequently in a program called “Chopped” where chefs compete. Anyway, it was exciting to taste something that I've seen so many times and heard the name of.

The difference from our potato is as much as its taste, this is a very sweet potato type. I tried the fries and porridge. Frying doesn't work very well in oil, but it tastes great if you make a sandwich with smoked turkey breast when it's flaked and fried. (We also tried a wrap, a feast for full houses mixed with avocado :)

By the way, after doing some research, I saw that there are a zillion varieties of sweet potato. Red rind with white core, reddish rind with orange core, softer texture etc. There is even a type called yam, which is not actually a potato and is discussed in America. (I hope that friends abroad will make more informative comments on the subject :) )

I liked the sweet potato egg as I like mild sweet flavors with meats and eggs. The good thing is that a small amount is satisfying and keeps you from feeling hungry for a long time.

While researching its benefits, I found an article titled "Nine reasons to eat sweet potatoes" on Mutlumikrop.com. I wanted to share this with you too.

Benefits of Sweet Potato:

1. High vitamin B6: Lowers the risk of heart attack.
2. A good source of vitamin C: In addition to preventing the flu, vitamin C plays a major role in dental health, digestion and the formation of blood cells. It is also beneficial in healing wounds and making our skin look younger.
3. Vitamin D: Indispensable for our immune system… It is necessary for our energy level, healthy bone structure, heart, nerves, skin and teeth. It also supports our thyroid glands.
4. Iron: Necessary for white cell production. It is also important against stress and for the immune system.
5. Magnesium: Magnesium, which we need for relaxation and stress, is also very important for our vascular, blood, bone, heart, muscle and nervous system.
6. Potassium: Plays a major role in balancing the heartbeat. It helps reduce bloating, prevent cramps, and help kidney function work successfully.
7. Sugar: Sweet potatoes contain natural sugar. Since these sugars are secreted slowly in our circulatory system, they have less weight gain and sugar-raising effects.
8. Beta-carotene: It is rich in beta-carotene due to its orange color. It is an important ingredient in eye and immune system diseases. It is effective against cancer and aging.
9. Versatile in use: It can be cooked in the oven, in soups, steamed, any kind of cooking.
