Southern sweet potato recipes?

This may sound silly or ignorant so I apologize in advance, but





In the American South, how are sweet potatoes prepared besides in pies an candied? All the recipe searches I do pull up one or the other.

They can be baked like a white potato and then topped with brown sugar and butter; sliced into rounds or wedges and then either baked or fried like French Fries; make mashed sweet potatoes with butter and milk, whip in a taste of cinnamon and nutmeg and dot with butter before serving...

Show: Emeril Live


Episode: Emeril Salutes America Winners Special























Sweet Potato-Bourbon Dressing:


1 large sweet potato, about 3/4 pound, rinsed and patted dry


1/2 cup orange juice


2 tablespoons cane syrup


1/4 to 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar


1/4 cup Kentucky bourbon


1 tablespoons chopped shallots


1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper


1/8 teaspoon allspice


1 teaspoon salt


1/2 cup soybean oil


4 (6-ounce) catfish


1 cup rice flour


Essence, recipe follows


1 large Vidalia onion, sliced thinly into half moons


1 1/2 cups thinly sliced Smithfied ham, Sauteed


2 peaches, pitted and diced


6 cups mixed greens


Sugared Nuts, recipe follows





To make the dressing: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.


Place the sweet potato on a baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes. Reduce the heat to 375 degrees F and bake until tender and the syrupy sugars start to break through the skin, about 45 minutes. Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Cut a slit down the potato and remove the peel.


In a blender, combine the sweet potato, orange juice, cane syrup, vinegar, bourbon, shallots, pepper, allspice and salt. Puree for 30 seconds. Pulsing, gradually add the oil through the feeder tube.


Preheat the fryer to 360 degrees F.


Season the catfish fillets with Essence. Dredge the catfish in rice flour, shaking off any excess. Add to the oil and fry for about 1 to 2 minutes per side. Remove to paper towels. In a large bowl combine, onions, ham, peaches, and mixed greens. Add some of the dressing and toss well. Place a mound of the greens on a plate. Top with the catfish fillets and sprinkle with sugared nuts.





Essence (Emeril's Creole Seasoning):


2 1/2 tablespoons paprika


2 tablespoons salt


2 tablespoons garlic powder


1 tablespoon black pepper


1 tablespoon onion powder


1 tablespoon cayenne pepper


1 tablespoon dried leaf oregano


1 tablespoon dried thyme
Many people bake sweet potatoes in the oven just like white potatoes and have their baked sweet potatoes with butter and cinnamon and sugar on top. My Mother makes sweet potato souffle each year at Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is baked sweet potatoes whipped up with butter, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger and then topped with a pecan-streusel topping.
Spray a 9X13 pan with Pam and pour in a small can of crushed pineapple with juice.


Top with slightly over-lapping sweet potato medallions (peeled, sliced potatoes). Sprinkle with salt and cinnamon. Sprinkle on a layer of brown sugar (amount is not critical). Dot with a few pats of butter (about 2 tbsp.) Bake at 375 degrees for 45 minutes (check potatoes for softness). Chopped nuts and or grated coconut can be added as a garnish to each serving.
