Time 1h20m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

One 8-ounce sweet potato
Nonstick cooking spray, for greasing the skillet
1/2 cup sugar
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 tablespoon heavy cream
1 tablespoon fresh orange juice
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 large egg
1 cup plain cornmeal
1 cup all-purpose flour
2/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 cup whole buttermilk
1 large egg
1/2 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons canola or vegetable oil

Steps:

  • For the sweet potato pie filling: Boil the sweet potato whole in a saucepan in enough water to cover until tender when pierced, 20 to 25 minutes. Peel and slice.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Grease a 12-inch cast-iron skillet with cooking spray.
  • Combine the sweet potato, sugar, butter, cream, orange juice, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla and egg in a food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and no lumps remain. Set aside.
  • Make the cornbread: Combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder and salt in a medium bowl. Whisk together the buttermilk, egg, butter and oil in a separate bowl. Add the buttermilk mixture to the flour mixture, stirring just until the dry ingredients are moistened. (The batter will be lumpy and thick.)
  • Pour the cornbread batter into the greased skillet. Spoon the sweet potato pie filling over the top in dollops. Use a wooden or metal skewer to create a marbling effect. (But do not mix in the sweet potato filling too much.)
  • Bake the cornbread until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool on a wire rack for 7 minutes before serving.

Yield 20 servings

Number Of Ingredients 20

3 lb. cornbread, cut into 1" cubes (about 20 cups)
2 lb. sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2" pieces (about 6 cups)
2 Tbsp. kosher salt, divided, plus more
3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
2 lb. fresh chorizo, torn into small pieces
2 large onions, chopped
2 celery stalks, chopped
2 Fresno chiles or jalapeños, chopped (optional)
6 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tsp. paprika
3 tsp. freshly ground black pepper, divided
2 bunches Tuscan kale, stemmed, torn into 2" pieces (about 12 cups)
1 cup hard cider or dry white wine
1/4 cup chopped sage
6 large eggs, beaten to blend
2 quarts homemade chicken stock or low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
3/4 cup unsalted butter, melted, divided
Special Equipment
A large roasting pan or large disposable aluminum roasting pan

Steps:

  • Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 350°F. Divide cornbread between 2 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake, tossing occasionally and rotating pans top to bottom halfway through, until beginning to brown in spots and dry out, 35-40 minutes. (Drying out the stuffing will help it absorb the eggs and stock without becoming mushy.) Let cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook sweet potatoes in a large pot of boiling salted water until just beginning to soften but not fully cooked through, 7-9 minutes. Drain; transfer potatoes to a large bowl.
  • Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Cook chorizo, breaking up with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned and slightly undercooked, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to bowl with sweet potatoes.
  • Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in same skillet over medium. Add onions, celery, chiles (if using), garlic, paprika, 1 Tbsp. salt, and 1 tsp. pepper and cook, stirring often, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes. Add kale in batches as it wilts, then cider and sage and cook, stirring occasionally, until liquid is almost completely evaporated, about 5 minutes. Transfer to sweet potato mixture and toss to combine.
  • Whisk eggs, stock, and vinegar in a large bowl or pitcher; season with remaining 1 Tbsp. salt and 2 tsp. pepper.
  • Brush large roasting pan with an even layer of melted butter. Spread one-third of cornbread pieces in pan. Top with half of sweet potato mixture and spread to evenly distribute. Drizzle one-third of egg mixture over. Repeat with another third of the cornbread, remaining sweet potato mixture, then another third of egg mixture. There will be a lot of liquid in the pan-don't worry, it will become absorbed as the stuffing bakes. Top with remaining cornbread, then drizzle remaining egg mixture over. Brush top with remaining butter. Cover pan with foil and bake stuffing until heated through, about 45 minutes. Uncover and bake until surface is golden and crisp, 20-30 minutes longer.
  • Do Ahead: Cornbread can be toasted 1 day ahead; store tightly wrapped at room temperature. Sweet potato, chorizo, and kale mixture can be cooked 1 day ahead; cover and chill.

Time 50m

Yield 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup yellow cornmeal
4 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup sugar
3 sweet potatoes or 1 (16 ounce) can sweet potatoes
2 eggs
6 tablespoons milk
3 tablespoons oil

Steps:

  • Mom's is the ultimate example of a life well-lived. I am in total awe of her. She's smart, accomplished, beautiful-inside and out-loving, courageous, and bubbling over with the sheer joy of living.
  • It's been an easy fifty years for Dad, clearly. To further endear her to me personally, she and her friends turn out some excellent eats! Mom herself makes this sweet potato cornbread that is worth driving all the way to Mountain Pine, Arkansas, for, but you won't have to-here's how you do it.
  • Mix together this dry stuff: 1 cup all-purpose flour, 1 cup yellow cornmeal, 4 teaspoons baking powder, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 cup sugar.
  • Separetely, mix together this wet stuff: 3 sweet potatoes, cooked and mashed (or you may use 1 16 ounce can of sweet potatoes, and in this recipe, it really is okay not to use home-cooked ones, I would tell you if it mattered), 2 eggs, 6 tablespoons milk, and 3 tablespoons oil.
  • Then mix the dry stuff and the wet stuff, just until it's all moist (don't beat it to death), then put it in greased muffin tins and bake at 425 until done-usually about 15 to 20 minutes.
