Old Fashioned Grated Sweet Potato Pudding
An old fashioned grated sweet potato pudding is a labor of love. This dish was one that my mother would make only once a year. The hardest part is grating the sweet potatoes which my mother always did by hand. You can certainly a food processor but it is key to grate the sweet potatoes really fine. You don’t want to boil or bake the sweet potatoes because it changes the texture of the dish. If you have the time, this dish is certainly one that you should have on your holiday dessert table. I enjoy it as a dessert but you can also make it as a side dish.
