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.
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.
