What We Cook: Baked Sweet Potatoes with Maple-Jalapeño Sour Cream

Our Cookbook Blog

Our Cookbook ~ What We Cook, is a compilation of every recipe we (Janice and Carissa) cook - recipes from our cookbook collections, our recipe boxes, and our heads! We set up this blog for friends and family who have our cookbook to let them see pictures we post of the recipes in the book, and also for us to note any corrections, revisions, or additions to What We Cook. We encourage people who are cooking our recipes to let us know how the recipes turn out and any suggestions they might want to make.

In addition, we will be sharing some of our new recipes (along with pictures) that are not in our cookbook. We hope you will help us out and test recipes and give us your comments.

Baked Sweet Potatoes with Maple-Jalapeño Sour Cream

Every time I make sweet potatoes with this topping, I am amazed all over again at how good it is! I used to choose the smallest of sweet potatoes when I baked them, but now I want the biggest one, just because of this sweet/hot/sour topping! The maple syrup, minced jalapeño, and lime juice mixed with sour cream or yogurt either one, is just a great combination. I didn't have the bacon bits today, so I just mixed my green onions into the sour cream mixture. I served this with the Boneless Chili Short Ribs on page 155.
