Mexican Sweet Potato Skins
Easy. Fake Away, delicious family style eating. Increase at will to feed a crowd. The kind of dish that everyone loves. Also perfect for a side dish!
This is one of those recipes where I had a few ingredients, I had the vegan part of the family coming over (don’t worry, they had the ones without the sour cream and aioli) and I needed to fill up a lot of people. Voila. Or should I say Arriba! I think it is really a great base for so many flavoursome ideas. Watch out for my butter chicken sweet potato skins coming soon! (Kidding...but doesn’t that sound good?)
