Savory Sweet Potatoes

Normally, my husband eats sweet potatoes a grand total of once a year, and that only because I get a hankering for the occasional baked one with butter. However, I got tired of being disappointed with sweetened vegetables - I've never been a fan of sugar on my savory foods. SO, today, I got brave and made up a recipe for sweet potatoes. I don't think I'll ever go back to the old way.

Savory Sweet Potatoes
(this-n-that style)

Peel and cut a couple of large sweet potatoes into dice. Put into a microwave-safe, covered casserole with a quarter-cup of water and season with salt, pepper, garlic powder and cajun seasoning (I use Tony Cachere's) to taste. Microwave, covered, on full power for 6 minutes.

In a deep skillet or medium saucepan, sauté a medium, thinly-sliced onion in adequate mild olive oil over medium heat until they start to be translucent and caramel around the edges. Lower heat.

Pour the potatoes into the onions and stir, coating completely. Cover and raise back to medium heat, and simmer for about fifteen minutes or until the potatoes are tender.

All done; these are great with a pork roast. Let me know what you think!
