Recipe: Sweet Potato Spoonbread

Side Dishes - Potatoes
SWEET POTATO SPOONBREAD

2 cups water
1 cup cornmeal
1 tablespoon frozen orange juice concentrate
4 eggs, separated
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 (16 oz.) can vacuum-packed sweet potatoes, drained and mashed (OR 1 1/4 cups mashed cooked sweet potatoes)
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg

Evenly coat 2-quart baking dish with spray. Set aside.

In medium saucepan, stir together water and cornmeal. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens. Remove from heat. Stir in concentrate. Set aside.

In small mixing bowl at high speed, beat egg whites with cream of tartar until stiff but not dry, just until whites no longer slip when bowl is tilted.

In large mixing bowl, beat together egg yolks, potatoes, sugar, baking powder, salt, if desired, and nutmeg. Beat in reserved cornmeal mixture until well blended. Gently, but thoroughly, fold yolk mixture into whites. Carefully pour into prepared dish.

Bake in preheated 350 degrees F oven until puffy, delicately browned, and spoonbread shakes slightly when oven rack is moved gently back and forth, about 50 to 60 minutes. Serve immediately.
