Make this simple, kid-friendly dish that is both sweet and savory! Before you start cooking, take a mindful moment to breathe and center. Learn about the history of sweet potatoes in Black southern cooking. Finally dive in to prepare and taste test the dish. This recipe is an adapted version simplified to cook with children. It was recommended to us by farmer Fredando Jackson in Georgia, out of Toni Tipton-Martin’s book, Jubilee: Recipes from Two Centuries of African American Cooking: A Cookbook.
