The star of this recipe is, of course, the sweet potato. This root vegetable is packed with nutrients and adds a natural sweetness to any dish. To balance out the sweetness, you'll need a generous amount of sour cream. The tangy flavor of the sour cream cuts through the richness of the sweet potato, creating the perfect balance of flavors. You'll also need some butter, brown sugar, and a pinch of salt to enhance the flavors even more.
To make this dish, start by boiling your sweet potatoes until they are fork-tender. Peel and mash them until they are smooth and creamy. Then, add in the butter, brown sugar, and salt, and mix until well combined. Fold in the sour cream, being careful not to overmix, as you want to keep some of the tanginess intact. Transfer the mixture to a baking dish and bake in the oven for 20 minutes until the top is lightly golden.
This recipe is versatile and can be customized to your liking. If you prefer your sweet potatoes to be on the sweeter side, you can add more brown sugar. For a creamier texture, add more sour cream. You can even top it with some chopped nuts or marshmallows for a little crunch and added sweetness. The possibilities are endless with this recipe, making it a great addition to your Thanksgiving menu.
So why not add a little twist to your traditional sweet potato side dish this year with Emeril's Thanksgiving sweet potato with sour cream recipe? Your taste buds will thank you, and your guests will be asking for seconds. Happy Thanksgiving!
