Why I Like this Recipe
I like this recipe because the sweet potatoes work really well with the rich liver and tomato sauce. The garlic and parsley keep the flavour savoury and fresh, while the roasted potatoes add a little sweetness on the side. It feels more like a proper dinner than a quick pan meal, but it is still simple to make.

Meal Storage
Store leftover liver in tomato sauce in a sealed container in the fridge for up to 2 days. Reheat gently on the stove with a splash of water. Keep sweet potato wedges in a separate container for 2 to 3 days and reheat them in the oven to keep them crisp.
