Potatoholics Anonymous


After 5 months and 6 days I had a Sweet Potato Relapse! 


The last time I had Sweet Potato Wedges was here.
 I knew I was addicted and needed to cut down!


Since then, I was doing a great job at balancing my cravings for sweet potatoes by limiting
my portion sizes... but we're only human, and it was only a matter of time before I caved :)


The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem haha


I cut up 2 jumbo white sweet potatoes and 2 jumbo orange sweet potatoes




Because it had been so long since I made this, I had to refer to
my original recipe for the oven temperature and cooking time!


They roasted just the way I like them; slightly darkened outside but still soft inside


You know me, always taking a million photos


Then I piled them into a large bowl


Not quite as high as my epic "Spud Mountain" Post


Turns out, my taste buds have changed... I no longer enjoyed
 these like I once had. I guess I wasn't as addicted as I thought...
