In our house, we buy way more sweet potatoes than any other variety. I never run out of ways to use them, in part because we're always turning to
sweet potato hash when we need a quick meal. When I buy other potatoes, I find myself having to search for ways to finish the bag. It's not that we don't like them, and I know there are a million ways to prepare them, I just struggle to use them before they go back.
Lucky for me, the June issue of Cooking Light featured 4 different potato side dishes, meaning I won't have this problem for a little while now! This is the first of the four that I tried and if all else fails we can make this again and again. This side dish is quintessentially summer to me, as is anything with corn and tomatoes. It's simple, and oh so tasty, with just about any grilled entree!
