I never met a potato I didn't like! This sounds good. The kefir is an interesting addition that I never thought of. I make (ferment) kefir so I always have some on hand. I like that they add the kefir at the end, hopefully after it's cooled down a bit so it doesn't kill off the cultures. It's a great probiotic. The sweet potato sounds good too. Maybe I'll make it tomorrow. Thank you for posting this.

If you make it Blondie, let us know how it comes out. I don't make things from scratch very often anymore myself, used to do a lot more home cooking back in the day. You're welcome Tnt.
