Steps:
- Add the sweet potatoes to a large pot, cover with water and add 1 tablespoon salt. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and puree the potatoes in a food processor until smooth.
- Bring the heavy cream and 2 cups water to a simmer in a saucepan over medium heat. Slowly whisk in the polenta and garlic powder. Reduce the heat to low and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the polenta is smooth and cooked through, about 15 minutes. Stir in the sweet potato puree and cheese until well combined. Season with salt and pepper.
Tips:
- Use fresh sweet potatoes: Fresh sweet potatoes will give your polenta a more vibrant color and flavor.
- Roast the sweet potatoes before using them: Roasting the sweet potatoes will caramelize their natural sugars and give them a slightly smoky flavor.
- Use a good quality polenta: A good quality polenta will be made from stone-ground cornmeal and will have a creamy texture.
- Cook the polenta slowly: Polenta takes time to cook, so be patient. Cook it over low heat, stirring constantly, until it is creamy and thick.
- Add your favorite toppings: Polenta is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of toppings. Try it with roasted vegetables, grilled chicken, or a simple tomato sauce.
Conclusion:
Sweet potato polenta is a delicious and versatile dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be served with a variety of toppings. Whether you are looking for a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or a comforting dinner, sweet potato polenta is a great choice.
