I am liking these Savory Sweet Potato Hand Pies for sure! I wanted to make a healthy, hearty snack food that also could go for a meal with some salad on the side. They are delicious with a nice sauce to dip it in like a salsa. The filling has a base of sweet potato, green peas, mushrooms, onion and spices and the dough is made with a mix of gluten free flours.
