February 22 is National Cook a Sweet Potato Day. Sweet potatoes make for a delicious and versatile ingredient. One medium sweet potato provides more than a day’s worth of vitamin A and 35 percent of the daily recommended amount of vitamin C, according to Teresa Henson, Cooperative Extension Program specialist-nutrition outreach coordinator at the University of Arkansas at Pine Bluff. You may want to celebrate the day by trying the following recipe.
