Every time of year is a good time for potatoes, but fall and winter are really prime times for cooking and eating spuds. Thanksgiving wouldn't be the same without mashed potatoes and sweet potato casserole, roasted potatoes are an excellent match for classic Christmas mains (think big hunks of meat) and Hannukah and latkes go hand in hand.

The classic American-style sweet potato casserole is a Thanksgiving staple. It’s also sweet enough to be dessert. With added sugar and a finishing layer of broiled marshmallows, it can be a cloying dish that obscures the natural flavor of sweet potatoes.

"It could be a side dish, or it could be a dessert—it’s almost like a sweet potato pie without the crust," says the 'Today' anchor.

Thanksgiving is here and there is nothing better than a meal that is oh-so-delicious and can be made super quickly. Moreover, if a dish requires less cleanup, then it is all the more perfect as a last-minute recipe.

From classic dishes to new takes, these delicious diabetes-friendly sweet potato recipes are worth adding to your menu this Thanksgiving.

The long-standing debate between sweet potato and pumpkin pie is about as old as Thanksgiving itself. But their history is not that different.
