I LOVE sweet potatoes, but I am not a fan of the usual sweet, syrupy preparation. This recipe brings out the true taste of sweet potatoes, with a little sweet and savory kick. Hope you enjoy!! Prep time does not include time to cook the bacon. Ingredients:
3 large sweet potatoes, peeled and diced |
4 ounces bacon, cooked crisp and crumbled |
2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine |
1/4 cup granulated sugar |
1/4 cup milk |
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder |
salt & fresh ground pepper |
Directions:
1. Cook sweet potatoes in boiling water in large pot until fork tender.
2. Drain and add back to pot.
3. Add bacon, butter or margarine, sugar, milk, and garlic powder.
4. Season with salt and pepper.
5. You can mash potatoes with a hand-held masher or whip with electric mixer (I use mixer).
6. Depends on how smooth you like them.
7. These are wonderful served with pork chops and gravy!
