Sweet, sweet potatoes

Delight in new fall colors by building a meal around sweet potatoes. Like pasta, they are well-suited for the layering of flavors, textures and colors. Short on time? Cook them in the microwave rather than the oven. Then top with a sweet and tangy flavor combination of grapes, lightly caramelized onions and vinegar. Finish with Mediterranean-inspired flair by combining cilantro, mint or other fresh herbs with feta cheese.

This classic Greek cheese is made from cow, sheep and/or goat milk and differs in flavor and saltiness depending on style and region. Each has its own distinct flavor, so try several to find a favorite. All taste even better when partnered with sweet, juicy potatoes.
