Can I use regular potatoes? I’m not into “sweet”
Hi Corinna,
Yes, you can use regular potatoes in place of sweet potatoes, but regular potatoes take a longer time to bake, so in Step 1, you’ll want to cook them to the longer end of the time range until a fork entered into the center of the potato meets just some resistance (not fully tender). Then follow the recipe as directed. Hope you enjoy!
Thank you,
Courtney Davison
