Sliced red potatoes from Idaho tossed with sweet potato strips yield a dish that's as pretty as it is great tasting. It's also kid-pleasing!
Before you begin: Wash your hands.
Nutrition Nugget: Scrub the sweet potatoes and slice with the skin on. It's edible and adds fiber.
Substitution: Substitute an equal weight of an Idaho or a Russet potato for the red ones; scrub well and follow the recipe.
