Sweet Potatoes with Lemon are lightly sweetened and bursting with lemony goodness for a delicious side dish that is special enough for holidays but easy enough for weeknights.<\/p>\n\n\n

I am not a big fan of canned sweet potatoes drenched in brown sugar and topped with marshmallows. I prefer to save my dessert for after the meal. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

These sweet potatoes are slightly sweet and the tang from the lemon makes them a nice complement to heavy holiday meals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you are cooking them for a holiday meal, you can peel and slice the potatoes and lemon earlier in the day and cook it while the main course is resting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

which one of these things doesn't belong here?<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n

Sweet potatoes come in a variety of colors inside and out. The skin can be brown, red, yellow or orange. The flesh can be pale white, yellow, orange or even purple.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Those orange \"yams\" served at Thanksgiving aren't really yams, they are orange colored sweet potatoes. Yams have a tough peel with eyes like potatoes and are starchy inside. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, I know the cans say yams and even in the produce aisle I've seen them labeled as yams. Probably because it is easier for them to mislabel it than to educate the consumer. But now you know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can use any color sweet potato for this dish. I went with pale yellow for a \"Spring\" look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
