Lime Cilantro Sweet Potatoes

I LOVE sweet potatoes.  I love them with marshmallows and I love them with brown sugar and pecans, I love them with just salt and pepper.  Any way I can eat them, I will.  I thought I would try something different and I am glad I did.  This is probably my new favorite way to eat these.  I could eat them all day.  Enjoy.

I don't really have a recipe, so..... just do your best ;)

4 sweet potatoes
olive oil
lime juice
cilantro
salt
pepper

Preheat oven to 425
Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into bite size pieces. Put in large baking sheet.  Drizzle olive oil over potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper.  Place in oven for about 30 min.  Depending on how soft you like your potatoes.
Drizzle lime juice over potatoes and then sprinkle fresh or dried cilantro on top.(I like dried)  Just as much as you like.  Aynslee said mine were too sour, Zach and I loved it the way they were.  It depends on your taste. 
ENJOY!

Mom's Texas Potatoes

These are made famous by my mom. I usually make these for our Christmas Eve dinner because it reminds me of being home. Very easy to make and great as a side dish.

4 cups potatoes ( in small chunks)
1 cup diced onion

White Sauce:

2 Tbl. butter
4 Tbl. flour
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. pepper
2 c. milk
2 c. cheese

Mix the white sauce together in a saucepan and cook until thick and bubbly.

Drain potatoes, add white sauce. Put in 2 qt. casserole dish and top with bread crumbs.
Cook at 275 for 45 min.

*When I make these I don't use the bread crumbs. I just mix the potatoes and white sauce together and serve immediately.*
