Sweet potatoes are wonderful and should be eaten more frequently than just at Thanksgiving. Don’t get me wrong, mashed sweet potatoes are wonderful, like the Bourbon Sweet Potatoes with Bacon-Pecan Topping, Savory Layered Sweet Potatoes, or Scalloped Sweet Potatoes with a Kick!, but let’s not limit ourselves.

This is particularly delicious with fish, seafood or pork. The thing I like about this, is that even though it’s nice Thanksgiving side dish, it’s wonderful when fresh apricots are in season. It’s quick, easy and totally delicious. Continue reading

When the weather cools…okay becomes damn cold, there’s nothing quite like a bowl of soup or chowder. This is a simple combination of leeks, salmon, fennel and three kinds of potatoes.

Sweet potatoes or yams, I honestly don’t really know the difference. I know there is a difference. But, if you mash ’em up with some bourbon, top ’em with bacon and pecans and a good drizzle of maple syrup…well then, I don’t think it matters one bit. Continue reading
