I’ve never heard of such a dish, but I am intrigued.
This sounds like gilding the lily on steroids. Pardon the mixed metaphor. Sweet potatoes are just wonderfully delicious baked. Thoroughly baked until the ends start to caramelize. Full stop.
Caryn,
You have NO IDEA the delights awaiting you….
Fat, sugar, more fat, more sugar. Sounds like dessert. I’m sure what you are describing is quite delicious, but lilies are quite lovely and smell sweet without adding gold leaf. So, too, a well roasted/baked sweet potato. And eating it that way leaves more room (calories!) for pie. Which is kind of what you’ve described. Just pop it into a crust and there it is: sweet potato pie. A dessert, not a pretend side dish. I’ll not ruin your planned meal–enjoy it in good health. And a very happy Thanksgiving to you and all. Whatever else is going on, we have a great deal for which to be thankful.
PS: I did copy the recipe and might well do as I said: pop it into a home-made single pie crust and call it dessert. Sounds yummy.
You know, some of us already went to the store Mr. Big-shot w/ servants Ricochet Pod caster.
Looks fantastic. Will try after Thursday.
Happy Thanksgiving
Sweet potatoes are gross.
You are dead to me.
