Notes
Few dishes are simpler than our sweet potato grits. But they offer so many serving options. Here are a few ideas -
- Our favorite idea is to add andouille sausage and bacon.
- Above they are pictured with shrimp.
- Try fried or blackened chicken tenders.
- Place grits in a 1 inch deep dish and refrigerate for a couple of hours. Cut into squares for grit cakes (which can be rolled in batter and deep fried).
- For breakfast add bacon and serve with fried eggs and home fries.
- How about chicken and waffles on a base of sweet potato grits.
