How did it take me this long to try sweet potatoes for breakfast? This is a great way to change it up from oatmeal or cereal, and making a big batch of sweet potato mash ahead of time makes this a super easy, no-cook, grab-and-go breakfast option. I usually eat it cold, or microwave pre-cooked potatoes for a minute or two.
There are a bazillion ways to cook sweet potatoes, baking, boiling, pressure cooking, etc. All of them work great for this recipe.

I also love this breakfast when camping, the morning after cooking the sweet potatoes on the coals of last night’s campfire. YUM!
Great idea! I’ve really enjoyed sweet potato a couple of times a month, and the other day had it mashed up with an orange and some pecans ( with the rest of my breakfast separate). Exquisite. Didn’t even need any spices!
Ok, I’m ready for the cookbook! Having this in a printable fashion would change my life. Tell me it’s in the works.
Just ate this for my day ate breakfast and it was delicious! Cooked up and portioned out some extra sweet potato for the rest of the week as well. Thanks so much for sharing!
Just ate this for breakfast, it was so good! I will be putting this on my breakfast menu often.
