SWEET POTATO HUMMUS

Sweet Potato Hummus image

With a little planning, it's easy to whip up a batch of hummus for unexpected guests, a potluck or an after-school snack. I always bake up extra unpeeled sweet potatoes so I can quickly mash the pulp for this unexpected dip. -Mary Marlowe Leverette, Columbia, South Carolina
