Murasaki Sweet Potato Wedges

I randomly picked up a bag of fuchsia-colored Murasaki sweet potatoes at Trader Joe’s one day to make some savory sweet potato wedges. I was blown away by their flavor and texture! It’s more starchy than a sweet potato and tastes similar to a regular potato.

Our favorite way to eat these sweet potato wedges is with grilled steak and veggies. We’ve also garnished them with fresh cilantro and dipped them in guacamole. They are amazing wrapped in prosciutto with arugula and avocado! Basically, these wedges have become famous in this house and among our family!
