Once relegated to only being a Thanksgiving side dish or in a casserole at the local potluck, sweet potatoes have seen a huge boost in popularity over the past few years. Sweet potato fries and other variations on this tasty tuber have become far more prevalent at restaurants and on dinner tables, at least in part due to the belief that they have a greater health value than regular potatoes.
