Sweet Potato Toast?! Wacky or Genius Breakfast?
I did it. I hopped on the sweet potato toast bandwagon. And just like that time I joined the avocado toast club, I am happy to be a member. At first I was intrigued by the many social media posts with various creative sweet potato toast stylings but mainly I just wanted to see for myself how this breakfast tastes. Sweet potato toast is super customizable too. Since people eat sweet potatoes sweet or savory, so many things can be done here.
