I yam what I yam
« on: February 23, 2016, 07:47:35 PM »
 Supposedly baked sweet potato topped with yogurt is one of the perfect food combos . Lately that has become  one of my go to dinners , easy to fix , and satisfies a couple of different cravings . Damn, between healthy pizza and yams , I hardly ever eat junk anymore  :laugh:

Never heard of that before.  Just bake a sweet potato and then put plain yogurt on it?  How long and at what temp?

Sweet potatos keep real well also, uncooked ones still in the bag that is.  :)

Love sweet potato. Long slow bake. Tasty, nutritious, anti inflammatory.

 Normally start them in the microwave , 90 seconds , then wrap with foil and 20 minutes in the toaster oven at 350 . Sweet and tangy .

I was at Ruth Chris Steakhouse in South Bend a number of years ago and had this sweet potato dish. It's so good, almost like eating candy. It's become a staple at our family Thanksgiving table.

My mom's older sister was married to a gentleman from Lebanon.  They were married back in the mid-1920s.  So, my aunt Virginia learned to cook Med style.  She visited every summer, and we ate stuffed grape leaves along with stuffed cabbage, baklava, and salads loaded with wheat (tabouli).  And yogurt!  My aunt and mom always made yogurt, using a 'starter' yogurt from a previous batch to kick off the process.  They didn't use a yogurt maker.  As I recall, the mixture ended up in a large ceramic bowl with a cover.  It was wrapped in a blanket to control the cool down process.

The result .... great lumpy yogurt that made the perfect topping for stuffed grape leaves.

I still make a similar dinner today, but using canned grape leaves, and frozen Italian meat balls.  And Dannon yogurt. made without the love of a 'starter' that my aunt brought with her on the train, from Beaumont, Texas to Charleston, West Virginia.

Cut up root vegetables including bot not limited to yams. Put into a baking dish. Add mushrooms if you like. Then add olive oil and seasonings - I like black pepper and basil - then bake until done.

Wrap em foil and toss them in the campfire coals.

If you use yogurt with active cultures you add some probiotics to go with all those antioxidants.

Good question, I was hoping some of the many BRILLIANT WG members would help me with that. What do you think? We did bake that sucker and put it in a pie, and it was REALLY GOOD! I grew them in a box of leaves 3 foot deep.

Farmer's Almanac but of course! Everything is in there. The information you need is probably near the article on the Higgs Boson!

A mini skewer to help the inside cook faster?  I don't know but considering how slowly they grow, feeding the that metal rod to the baby potatoe musta taken a long time..prolly while waiting on Guzzi to go outta business.

We have sweet potatoes or yams at least once a week. Slice 'em and put them on a baking sheet with butter or olive oil.. Add just about any kind of flavored salt. Mmm mmm good!

Yes! One can hardly go wrong with a sweet potato.

When I was young the only sweet potatoes served in our household came in tins and mom topped with marshmallow. What a horrid fate for a sweet spud.

In the interest of varying opinions, sweet potatoes are something to puke about. You couldn't put enough yogurt on one to bury it.
