TASTY TIDBITS TUESDAY
Everybody has sweet potatoes on Thanksgiving right? I guess it’s a given; mashed potatoes, cranberry sauce and candied sweet potatoes. I just don’t love candied sweet potatoes because they are already sweet by themselves and when they’re drowned in maple syrup or brown sugar and butter, you have dessert. You could put in a crust and you’d have sweet potato pie. AND other than jellied cranberry sauce from the can (yuk) they stick out like a sweet thumb in a fairly savory meal. So rather than throw tradition out the window completely, I make a sweet potato side dish that is slightly sweet and light – Sweet Potato Puff.
1/4 cup melted butter
1/2 tsp salt and dash of pepper
4 cups mashed sweet potatoes (2 lb)
2 eggs separated – beat separately
Preheat oven 375 degrees
Mash potatoes with melted butter
Fold in egg yolks and egg whites (soft peaks).
Bake in greased casserole for about 30 minutes
Sprinkle top with cinnamon.
It’s quick, easy, and can be made earlier in the day and rewarmed.
