Vanilla Sweet Potato PureePosted Dec 26th 2005 3:07PM by Nicole WestonFiled under: Dinner, Vegetables, Raves & Reviews, On the BlogsI just tried the Vanilla Sweet Potato Puree
recipe from Heidi at 101 Cookbooks as a side to my holiday meal. After
cooking the sweet potatoes until soft and tender, I placed them in a large bowl with cream, vanilla extract, a bit of
orange zest and a bit of butter and whipped them with a hand mixer until they were smooth and fluffy.You can see
Heidi's batch in the photo above because her styling of this side is far more appealing than any of my attempts.
Somehow, it seems that purees look much less glamorous than they taste. No matter, because this tasted fantastic. The
vanilla flavor, though I used extract rather than infuse my cream with real vanilla beans, as Heidi did, came through
very well. Its delicate flavor brought out the sweetness of the potatoes without having to add a lot of sugar. Whipping
the whole mixture, combined with the cream, no doubt, makes it incredibly light and fluffy. This is a standout dish and
is definitely worth a repeat. Or two.
