4 candy potato desserts you MUST do this vacation season

Thanksgiving Day is like the Met Gala for old recipes! The grannies, aunties and other elders prepare the feasts early in the week, from the star of the show (the turkey) to the gatekeepers of ITIS (desserts). And sweet potato pie shines every holiday, but this Thanksgiving, home cooks are showing the limitless creations that can be made with a remix of small ingredients.

Well, we KNOW Thanksgiving isn’t the time for experimentation, but here are four sweet potato creations to add to your low-vibration plates this festive season!

Sweet Potato Pie with Mac & Cheese

If you love your candied yams and macaroni and cheese, this might be the recipe for you! Baker Nikki Moore decided to combine two of the soul’s staples and the result is delicious!

And if you looked at this recipe and thought, “heart attack,” Nikki has this to say about it:

Sweet potato cornbread

Another combination of classics! This time last year, Miles Barnett had people in a stranglehold with his sweet potato cornbread. And the house chef is back to whip up his moist, fluffy, honey-buttered delights this holiday season. Start your Blackity BLACK Friday shopping by adding his recipe to your cookbook for less than $2!

Be sure to give dibs a call to bring the (yam) cornbread to the table this year! pic.twitter.com/gKsyBZUvSB

Sweet Potato Casserole

Think candied yams, but not really and as a casserole! Home cook Candace has a social audience of over 100,000 followers who she teaches how to toss in the kitchen. Amidst her remixed recipes like cornbread dressing and Cajun butter-infused turkey, Candace also shared one of the ways she serves sweet potatoes! Not only did Candace use all the essential ingredients, but she topped her remix with a sprinkle and added marshmallows!
