Let me start with the fact that this loaded sweet potato recipe is really just a combination of two of our other favorite recipes. So, you'll be clicking to them for the full recipes, but I know you will love it. Also, if you are on the WW FreeStyle plan, you know that sweet potatoes are one starch that we have to count on the plan. The best way to accurately do this is to weigh your potatoes. I have a simple Etekcity Electric Digital Kitchen Scale. There are tons of other options out there, but this one was cheap and is easy to use. If you invest in nothing else during your WW journey, a food scale is a MUST.
For this recipe, I used medium sweet potatoes. They measured from 4-6 ounces per potato once cooked. So, an average of 5 SmartPoints for a medium sweet potato is typical, in my experience.
