Easy or Harder Sweet Potato/Yam Side dish
(for those that like easy or need to bring a dish somewhere else, or can be used with leftover turkey) You decide what you want to use
We usually cook sweet potatoes on the grill wrapped in tin foil (for some reason they taste much better)
I leave some out for those who want it just plain with butter or cinnamon for dietary reasons.
Then I make this recipe with the other potatos:
(After T-giving one can make it easily without the time of making it fresh with canned goods.)
I just use my eye for this, no exact ingredients.
Put sweet pototoes in a corning dish
Then I add fresh apple sauce (I use gala apples) layer over the top of the sweet potatoes or yams (I add cinnamon to my apple sauce)
then add a layer of brown sugar,
add layer of sweet potatoes again, apple sauce, and brown sugar
Top with oatmeal, then put in the oven briefly to warm through
Then I add a little butter to the top and more oatmeal, and then stick under broiler to make a crispy topping with the oatmeal.(just 15 seconds or so, it darkens and hardens quickly) I also put some cored apple pieces on top for decoration when I add the oatmeal. (but not necessary)
After the holidays or at holidays for an easy side, the above ingedients can be substituted for canned yams, and canned apple sauce and put in the microwave (covered with saran wrap) then put the oatmeal and broil 15-20 seconds.
Fast and easy and has always been a hit.
