Sweet potatoes are the roots of their vine-like plant, and they're members of the morning glory family. Yams are root vegetables from another plant family and grow differently, with tougher skin. Sweet potatoes are indeed sweeter, which is why you can also use them in desserts like sweet potato pie. Yams are starchier in flavor and work well as a side with other vegetables.
First, I gathered core ingredients. If you can't find Butterkäse (it's not widely sold in the US outside of Aldi), you can opt for the easier-to-find harvarti, which has a similar creamy texture. I also used a regular orange sweet potato. STEP 1: While Courtney doesn't specify how to prep the potato, I covered the sweet potato in a liberal amount of olive oil and sprinkled it with salt before airfying for an hour.
About a month ago, a video of a Southern teacher named Courtney Cook Bales eating an entire baked sweet potato (skin and all) filled with cheese rolled across my For You Page. Almost immediately, this two-ingredient recipe was everywhere. Turns out, nearly 10 million people have seen the same video I had - but instead of scrolling on, they went into their kitchens to make it. And they were raving about it.
You can make a flavorful, fuss-free dinner by cooking everything in one skillet with this tasty meatball dish. Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs give the meatballs a rich flavor and texture. To elevate a store-bought pasta sauce, I added a touch of garlic, then paired it with frozen green beans and sweet potatoes for a colorful, well-rounded meal ready in minutes.
If you are making substitutes, you could use ordinary firm tofu instead of smoked, a teaspoon of sugar instead of mirin, white cabbage instead of red, any chilli oil instead of the peanut or tofu version (use to taste, because the heat will vary) and any soft herb instead of coriander. Of course, it won't taste exactly the same, but it will still work well.
Don't get me wrong, I love a good pumpkin spice latte. There's nothing better than cold hands clutched around a warm ceramic mug, amber leaves dancing in the crisp autumn breeze, cozy flannel buttoned up to your chin, and the "Gilmore Girls" theme song playing on repeat in your head. However, we can all agree that pumpkin spice is unavoidable the second Target decides to put out Halloween costumes, and it can get redundant, especially when it comes to desserts.
