Questions & Replies

  1. Has anyone prepared this a day ahead? Does it reheat well, or can I prep ahead of time, and leave in the sauce overnight, then cook TG day?

  1. I knew I was going to like this recipe, it is sweet potatoes and balsamic vinegar after all. But lord have mercy, add in that caramelization and it was like having dessert on the same plate with dinner. Yummy stuff!
     
  2. Absolutely amazing! I never would have thought to combine sweet potatoes with balsamic vinegar and made this on a whim. It is fabulous and will be a regular on our table!
     
  3. The kids ate this happily with no dip, I think that speaks for itself. Very good. I threw everything except the yams into a frying pan and waited for it to thicken at med-high heat, then tossed in the yams and tossed them to cover well. Then put them on a cookie sheet lined with non stick foil. Clean up was easy, prep was easy, perfect!
     
  4. This what is known as Heaven on a Plate. Served with simple pan grilled boneless pork chips and steamed Brussels sprouts. Made for Lorac for her cookathon January 2014.
     
  5. Excellent combo~~we love balsamic! I also sprinkled the yams with some course sea salt & freshly ground pepper before roasting. Make sure to not cut your cubes too small, as they will be done before getting a real chance to caramelize. Thanks!
