CREAMED SWEET POTATOES

This was a fantastic side dish for our Thanksgiving feast. I doesn't make a huge bowl full, but we found it to be the perfect amount. I only used 1/4 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, but I could have used a little more. I thought there was too much butter however. 1/4 cup would have been plenty. This recipe is from The Castle, Natchez, Mississippi and featured recently in an article in Taste of the South.

Tips for Cooking Creamed White Sweet Potatoes:

  • Choose the right sweet potatoes: Look for firm, smooth sweet potatoes with no blemishes or cracks.
  • Peel and cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: If you're cooking a lot of sweet potatoes, cook them in batches so they have enough room to cook evenly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot: This will help prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking to the bottom of the pot.
  • Add the right amount of liquid: You want the sweet potatoes to be covered in liquid, but not so much that they're swimming in it.
  • Season the sweet potatoes: Add salt, pepper, and any other desired seasonings to the pot before cooking.
  • Cook the sweet potatoes until they're tender: This will take about 15-20 minutes, depending on the size and type of sweet potatoes.
  • Serve the sweet potatoes immediately: They're best when served hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Creamed white sweet potatoes are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They're also a great way to get your daily dose of vitamins and minerals. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can make this classic Southern dish that's sure to please everyone at the table.
