Weight Watchers Mashed Sweet Potatoes
This is a great spin on a classic dish. I love the idea of making these a more savory dish to serve alongside our favorite meals. Instead of the traditional sweet option, the Weight Watchers mashed sweet potatoes make a great savory option. They can replace other starches and have great amounts of beta-carotene to add to your diet.

Play with the seasonings you prefer. If you like something sweeter add a hint of cinnamon, cloves, nutmeg or even pumpkin pie spice for a sweet dish. If you prefer savory add onion powder, paprika or even chili powder for a bit more kick. Sweet potatoes are much like their traditional counterpart and are exceptionally versatile in flavor profiles with the right additions.

Can you substitute Greek yogurt for plain yogurt and the freestyle sp will stay the same?
Katie
Yes, nonfat plain Greek or nonfat plain regular yogurt are both zero points so would remain the same.
