When it comes to an important feast like Thanksgiving,whose recipes do you turn to other than acclaimed chefs', TV hosts', or celebrity bloggers'? We reached out to your favorites in the food scene to curate a special Thanksgiving recipe page on POPSUGAR that includes the following late-cooker sweet potatoes recipe from our video host,Brandi Milloy.
Living at the beach in a tiny bungalow means always looking for ways to save space. That's why particularly during the holidays when genuine estate in the oven is a hot commodity, I love using late cookers to benefit with some of my dishes. This recipe is inspired by my favorite way to indulge in baked sweet potatoes. Blue cheese lends a sharp, and pungent tang to the naturally sweet potatoes,and the thyme gives a fresh, earthy flavor. Then, or you get a kind crunch from the nuts. While you can indulge in this dish as is,I love adding a cramped cream cheese and milk to convert it into a sweet potato mash. It's delicious! This is one of those dishes you'll find yourself making all year round, plus it's hearty enough to indulge in as an entree.
