Time 40m

Yield 24 bites

Number Of Ingredients 10

Nonstick cooking spray
1 cup leftover mashed sweet potato
3 tablespoons mascarpone cheese, chilled
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
All-purpose flour, for dusting
2 puff pastry sheets (One 17.2 ounce package), thawed according to package directions
1 egg, beaten
2 tablespoons cinnamon-sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Spray a rimmed baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray and set aside.
  • In a medium bowl, mix together the mashed sweet potato, mascarpone, cinnamon, ginger and vanilla using a rubber spatula. Set aside.
  • On a lightly floured surface, roll out a sheet of puff pastry to 10-by-13 inches. Using a 3- inch round cutter, cut out 12 rounds from the first sheet of puff pastry. Working one at a time, use your fingers to slightly flatten and widen each round. Spoon a heaping teaspoon of the mashed potato filling into the middle of the round, brush a small amount of egg on one edge and stretch the pastry over the filling to make a half moon. Crimp the edges with your fingers to seal and place on the prepared baking sheet. Continue with the remaining rounds and half the filling, leaving 1 inch between puffs, and then cut and fill 12 rounds from the second sheet of puff pastry.
  • Brush the tops of each pastry with some beaten egg and sprinkle with some cinnamon-sugar. Use the tip of a knife to poke a hole in the center of each of the puff. Bake until golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes. Serve hot.

BONNIE'S SWEET POTATO PUFFS



BONNIE'S SWEET POTATO PUFFS image

This recipe comes from Chef Bowersox. His mother used to make these wonderful Sweet Potato Puffs for her family twice a year, for Thanksgiving and Christmas. He says: "They are as simple to make as forming a snowball, and make great fun for the kids gathered for family holidays. The surprise inside is what makes the dish--and...

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 can (29 oz.) sweet potatoes, drained
1 cup crumbs made from corn flakes
8 large marshmallows
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 cup sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
small dish with brown sugar in it for dipping
white corn syrup

Steps:

  • 1. Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. You will need an 8 inch, ungreased glass baking dish.
  • 2. Empty the well-drained sweet potatoes into a medium size mixing bowl. Mash gently with potato masher until just mashed. Add the cinnamon, sugar, nutmeg and salt. Gently stir just until mixed.
  • 3. Place 1 cup of cornflake crumbs in a small bowl (about the size of a cereal bowl)
  • 4. Put about a 1/2 cup of brown sugar in a small dish for dipping.
  • 5. Take some potato and put it in your palm. (about 2 tablespoons) Press a marshmallow in the center, and put more sweet potato on top and form a ball, like a snowball, hiding the marshmallow from view.
  • 6. When the ball is formed, roll it in the cornflake crumbs until covered. Then press about 1 tablespoon of brown sugar onto the top of the ball. Place ball in the baking dish with the brown sugar side up. See my 2 photos of this dish above. Drizzle with 2 tablespoons of corn syrup over the top, and let it run down the sides.
  • 7. Bake in the oven 15 minutes until the brown sugar has slightly melted over the top. Serve Hot, with or without topping.
  • 8. Cook's Tip: I made this more than once, so I could get the temperature right. If I baked it 20 minutes as the original recipe stated, they would "pop open", but if I removed them in 15 minutes, it worked fine. So the cooking time will depend on your oven. Let the kids help, because this is a fun recipe to make! Enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use a ricer to get smooth mashed sweet potatoes. This will help create a light and fluffy batter.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the puffs tough.
  • Be careful not to overfill the muffin tins. The puffs will rise and expand, so leave some room at the top.
  • Bake the puffs until they are golden brown. This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Serve the puffs warm with your favorite dipping sauce. They are also great for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.

Conclusion:

Sweet potato puffs are a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a tasty and satisfying meal that the whole family will love.
