Fall is here and my favorite fall food is not Pumpkin but Sweet Potatoes! I love sweet potatoes because I grew up eating them all the time in various dishes. Candied yams are my favorite dish using sweet potatoes but I wanted to incorporate them in non traditional ways for my sweet potato series that will be running the entire month of October. The first recipe in my sweet potato series are these sweet potato hushpuppies. I grew up eating hushpuppies all the time especially with chopped BBQ or with some good fried fish! In this series, I will also share a few recipes where you can incorporate Miss Lena's Sweet Potato Biscuit Mix. You don't have to use our mix just to make biscuits and I can't wait to share all of the recipes that I created that incorporate our biscuit mix. The first recipe that incorporate our mix is this hushpuppy recipe! With the addition of 1/2 cup of our biscuit mix, a little salt, and some cornmeal, these sweet potato Hushpuppies taste like a little piece of heaven. I paired them with some whipped honey cinnamon butter which is a copycat recipe of the Texas Roadhouse butter. I also made half of the hushpuppies savory but incorporating cubed ham and scallion. You can choose to make these plain and not add those items. Below is the recipe. I hope you enjoy it as much as my family did!
