Because you asked and we're here to serve
Sweet Potato Quesadillas
Mince
1 1/2 C Onions
2 Clvs Garlic
Saute in frypan in 1TBSP oil until onions are translucent
Add:
2 tsp oregano
1 1/2 tsp basil, marjoram, chili powder,
1 1/2 tsp ground cumin (optional)
pinch of ground red pepper/ to taste
Cook with onions a minute or two
Add
4 C sweet potatos (cooked and mashed)
Add and heat through, frequently stirring to keep from getting too sticky.
** I added about a 1/3 C water because the potatoes were just too sticky.
Now make your quesadillas. I just made them with cheese the first time. Served with salsa and french dressing. Jonathan liked them without anything and I like them with salsa.
The recipe mentions that you can use shredded raw sweet potatoes sauteed with the onions and garlic until soft. I had the oven going a few days before and put the sweet potatoes in to bake while the oven was hot. But if you don't get a chance to plan ahead like that try the raw potato route. This is a quick recipe otherwise and VERY FILLING. Jonathan and I each ate 1 and were stuffed.

Mmmm... that actually sounds quite tasty. I don't have any basil or marjoram, but a little Italian seasoning might do the trick... French dressing and salsa is out, as well (unless I get seriously motivated to make my own!), but I think it just might work with what I can get here! Thanks for sharing your recipe!
My neighbor used to have the Simply in Season cookbook, and I borrowed it once in a while. But she's moved away now - I really should have written down more of those recipes before she left!
