I probably eat 3-4 sweet potatoes a day. I encourage everybody, if possible, to buy them organic. The taste, texture and color are sooo much better than non-organic, and makes me feel more comfortable eating the skin as well. I've had to start buying these things in bulk I eat them so often.
Another soup recipe. And this one calls for turmeric. Bonus!

Haha, the weird thing is, sweet potatoe may make my skin worse due to high glycemic index and starchiness. It isn't the best for my self declared case of sibo and leaky gut. But, in healthy individuals the sweet potato is great and tastes great!! I think it cleared you due to high levels of vitamin a

Sweet Potato Gnocchi with Maple Cinnamon Sage Brown Butter (based on Mark Bittman's recipe inHow to Cook Everything and Giada De Laurentiis' recipehere)
makes 3-4 servings
1 lb. sweet potatoes (about 2)
Salt and pepper
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup butter
15 fresh sage leaves
2 teaspoons maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 dash nutmeg
Start boiling a pot of water.
Peel the sweet potatoes and cut into small 1" chunks. Place in a microwaveable bowl with a little water and cover. Microwave for five minutes or until the sweet potatoes are done. Drain, season with salt and pepper, and mash with a fork.
Add about a half cup of the flour and stir. Continue adding the flour in small increments until you get a dough that you can handle. You want to add as little flour as possible to keep the gnocchi from being too dense. Pinch off a small piece and drop into boiling water to make sure it will keep its shape.
Place the dough onto a floured counter top (or cutting board). Divide in half and roll each piece into a 1/2 inch wide snake. Cut the dough into 1 inch long pieces and roll over the tines of a fork. Place shaped pieces onto a floured plate without them touching one another.
Cook the gnocchi in the boiling water in batches. You don't want there to be more gnocchi in the pot than can cover the surface of the water. The gnocchi is done about a minute after it starts floating.
While the gnocchi is cooking, melt the butter in a separate small saucepan. Once it is melted, add the sage leaves and continue to cook until the milk solids in the butter have browned. Remove from heat and add the maple syrup, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt to taste.
