I’ve been missing in action for almost 4 months. Busyness and laziness got the better of me but more on the former. Happy to be back (although I don’t know for how long).
While away, I thought about ending Messy Witchen. But, when I read back what I wrote here, it has imprints from moments and times that I will never get back. So precious. No worry. I’m keeping this preciousss. 💝
In my opinion, sweet potatoes are a tricky thing. No two types are alike. And, they come in different colors, flavors and textures. Some sweet potatoes are perfect for steaming and not frying and vice versa. I’ve tried many sweet potatoes in recent times and the one that I like the best is honey sweet potato which has a beautiful sweetness, is orange in color and has the right kind of texture that’s perfect for both steaming and frying. Ironically it’s from an online grocery delivery platform. I could never find one that’s similar to this one yet. Oh so perfect!
Enough about my favorite sweet potato. I’m sharing this extremely simple sweet potato with butter recipe which I’ve tried with my favorite sweet potato and others. In this recipe, I’m using a yellow sweet potato that I bought from a supermarket. This simple dish makes a beautiful appetizer and snack. Who knew sweet potato and butter (salted) are magic when brought together? I found this combination by accident one day when I was out of bread to accompany my butter. So, why not put it on steamed sweet potato?
Looks like artwork on a plate except it can be eaten. Yes, you need thick butter and it must be more or less as thick as the sweet potato!!! 🧈🤤
