"My husband told me he didn't like sweet potatoes so I decided I wanted to find a way to change his mind. He said he didn't like the fact that they were sweet - - so I made them savory and spicy! And guess what - he liked them and even had seconds!! You should give this receipe a try. I plan to make it again!!"

Put a little EVOO (maybe 2 tbsp) in the bottom of a large skillet.
Add sweet potatoes, garlic, onion, season salt and oregano to pan.
Cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
Add the chopped pepper and adobo sauce. You can add more or less depending on your spicy preference - I started with 1/2 pepper and ended up adding the other 1/2.
Cook for about 10 minutes, stirring occassionally.
Once potatoes are the firmness you like, add the 2 tbsp butter and 1/2c of parmesan, stir well.
Allow butter and cheese to melt in pan.
