Sweet potato toast with a lotta ricotta
So I have been wanting to try sweet potato toast (all the cool kids are doing it) and darned if it isn't quite tasty. Find a really big yam or sweet potato, cut it in quarter inch planks and toast it in your toaster until it is fork tender. Let it cool for a minute (makes it crispier) then top it. The one on the bottom has ricotta cheese and some homemade garden relish. The one on the top is ricotta cheese with a hard poached egg and sandwich sprinkle. Yum.
We don’t usually have ricotta cheese in the frig but @preparedwombat made lasagna for dinner last night and it was mighty fine. Got a lotta ricotta to use up? I recommend sweet potato toast.
“Got a lotta ricotta?” Ha ha ha. That one did not pass me by. So you do t have to parboil those sweet potatoes first? You just hack ‘em up and chuck ‘em in the toaster? ImThey don’t burn before they are cooked through? This is truly an education!
I know! Been meaning to look up how to do it for the longest time. You do indeed start with a 1/4” plank of raw, uncooked, unadulterated, nothing done to it but the slicing, yam or sweet potato and pop that in your toaster.
In the spirit of full disclosure, I had to toast them then up end them so the other end was in the toaster and toast again. And I did burn some in my efforts to figure out how long to toast them. But the final result was toasted sweet potato with a crispy outer surface. Nice.
Next time, I plan to use the mouli to see if slicing is easier that way. Cheers darlin’. Have a great day.
