Sweet Potatoes Recipes, As Thanksgiving draws near, almost everybody is looking for a sweet potato recipe – whether that be pie, cornbread stuffing or even some delicious biscuits.

That being said, you may be surprised to learn that there is a sweet potato commission that loves to share all things sweet potato. I’m personally going to make myself some cornbread stuffing this holiday season, but we thought we’d include a few extra recipes for those with other tastes.

The following recipes are compliments of the North Carolina Sweet Potato Commission. Enjoy!

Sweet Potato Cornbread Stuffing

2 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into small cubes
1 cup chopped onion
1 cup sliced celery
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup fresh chopped parsley
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 (16-ounce) package cornbread stuffing (about 5 cups)
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 (124.5) ounce can) chicken broth
Heat oven to 375 degrees. In a skillet, sauté sweet potatoes, onions and celery in butter for 7 to 10 minutes, or until onions and celery are tender. Spoon mixture into large mixing bowl; stir in parsley and ginger. Add cornbread and pecans and toss to mix. Slowly add chicken broth and toss to moisten. Place stuffing in a lightly oiled casserole dish. Bake for 30 minutes, covered. Remove cover and bake for 15 more minutes to thoroughly heat through and brown top of stuffing. Makes 8 servings or 6 cups.
