Soooo good! Make it even better by serving with fresh whip cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. I also like to use unsalted butter when making this.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife: A sharp knife will make it easier to peel and slice the sweet potatoes.
  • Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Overcooked sweet potatoes will be mushy. Cook them until they are just tender when pierced with a fork.
  • Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: A well-seasoned cast iron skillet will help to create a crispy crust on the cobbler.
  • Don't skimp on the butter: Butter adds flavor and richness to the cobbler. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the dish.
  • Serve the cobbler warm with ice cream or whipped cream: The warm cobbler and cold ice cream or whipped cream create a delicious contrast in temperature and texture.
