Spotted Salamander Sweet Potato Grits

Ingredients

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

Preparation

  1. Bring the water and milk to a boil in a large saucepan over medium high heat.
  2. Gradually whisk in the grits.
  3. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 30 to 45 minutes, stirring frequently, until the grits are tender and thickened.
  4. Stir in the mashed sweet potatoes and butter until well combined.
  5. Taste and season with additional salt as needed. Serve warm.

Notes

  • 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.
