Method
- Combine everything in a baking dish and bake at 350°F for about 40 minutes.
What we changed and why
- Cook and mash the sweet potato before you measure it.
- Some chips use corn-derived dextrose or vanillin, so read the label.
Items marked "check" need a quick label read: corn hides in starches, dextrose, and vinegar.
