This dish was part of Chef Amy’s win on the tv show Beat the Chefs.  You can watch the facebook live here.


Ingredients

Scale

1 cup grits — quick cooking

1 (16 oz) can sweet potatoes — drained and mashed

2 tbsp butter — unsalted

1 tsp Kosher salt

1/2 tsp black pepper

1 cup Gouda cheese, smoked — shredded

until heated through, and then stir in cheese.


Notes

NOTE

If you can get fresh sweet potatoes, use those!!! You can steam them, roast them or boil them. Serve with pepper jelly and crispy bacon.  I replaced the smoked gouda cheese with Sweet Grass Dairy Little Moo Cheese and Tome Cheese. If you’re in New Orleans you can get it at St. James Cheese Company.
