Spotted Salamander Sweet Potato Grits

Ingredients

It’s very important to use good fresh stone ground grits. We use Congaree Milling Company Grits sold at Rosewood Market and Soda City Market in Columbia, SC. A perfect side with fried turkey.

  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups whole milk
  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt
  • 1 cup stone-ground grits
  • 2 large sweet potatoes, cooked, peeled and mashed.
  • Kosher salt to taste
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

Preparation

Bring milk and water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; gradually whisk in grits. Reduce heat to low, and simmer, stirring frequently, 30-45 minutes or until thickened.

Stir in sweet potatoes, butter and any extra salt to taste.
