Succotash

Succotash is what I like to call the southern version of Asian stir-fry. It is a vegetable- lovers dream come true! This dish is hearty and quite satisfying. There is some prep work involved, but the overall dish comes together rather quickly if you cook the sweet potatoes and red potatoes ahead of time. I hope you like it!
