HEARTY SWEET POTATO BRAIDS
We make these delicious and nutritious loaves every Christmas. Thyme gives the pretty braids a lovely flavor. For a change, I often use safflower oil in this recipe. -Suzanne Kesel of Cohocton, New York

[email protected]I've never been a huge fan of sweet-potato, but these braids changed my mind! The orange and yellow sweet-potato ribbons looked beautiful when braided together. They were also super soft and pillowy on the inside. Will definitely be making these agai
