So, the sweet potato thing is a casserole, seen here prepped, not yet baked, and I used Granny Smith apples, figuring sweet potatoes sweet enough to balance it, and there's sugar in the recipe, a lot of it, which I omitted, but I did put in a bit of molasses, into the sprinkled topping of flour and spices. There's cinnamon and nutmeg among the sweet potato slices, too. Sweet potato nuked to done, peeled and sliced. Apples peeled and sliced. We'll see how it comes out. It will go with roast chicken drumsticks. I think I'll just roast the chicken with salt and pepper, no need to get all fancy with that.
After fireworks, tea and dessert, a sweet potato walnut bread. You will notice that I had a plethora of potatoes, and I'm tired of making banana bread, so I figured substituting the sp for the bananas would work, similar texture and liquidity, etc. And to my surprise, it did.
Really good with a spoonful of plain yogurt on top. So I'm wondering what other subs I can make to this recipe. Readers suggestions welcome on this point. Or any other, come to think of it.
This is either a way of echoing the main dish in the dessert, which I would say if I were one of those fancy cheffy type people, who write cookbooks and pose for pix brandishing a wooden spoon, or a way of using up sweet potatoes interestingly, which is what I actually say.
