Ingredients

The following ingredients have 8 Servings
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 cups milk of choice (I used 1% dairy, but coconut milk or another alternative unsweetened milk would be fine too)
  • 4 cups shredded sweet potato (about 2 medium sweet potatoes)
  • 2 cups stoneground yellow grits
  • 1 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4-1/2 teaspoon ground ginger (to taste (or omit))

Instruction

  • In a large saucepan, bring water and milk and bring to a gentle boil over medium-high heat.
  • Slowly whisk in grits, stirring constantly. Mix in sweet potato, salt and ginger.
  • Reduce heat to low and simmer uncovered, stirring often, until grits are creamy, thick and tender to bite, about 30- 45 minutes.
  • During cooking process, more water can be added a 1/4 cup at a time, if too much liquid cooking away.
  • Optional: For added richness, stir in 1/4 cup butter OR cream, and/or cheese.
