Beef and Sweet Potato Stir-Fry
One of the many contributions of the Americas to the global pantry, the sweet potato typically has either yellow-brown skin and yellow flesh, or dark reddish or purplish skin and dark orange flesh. They are sometimes erroneously labeled as yams in markets. When purchasing sweet potatoes, choose firm, smooth ones without blemishes or broken skin. Store them in a cool, dark, well-ventilated place for up to 1 week.
