It’s rather embarrasing when your man yams turn wet and gushy.

Try preparing sweet potatoes like white potatoes (butter, sour cream, chives, black pepper, salt…although I’d probably stay away from the bacon bits). Tastier and better for you!

I love the look on Alton’s face right after he says “This show’s already got a star”.

No, no teriyaki. It’s a lot sweeter than adobo, without the vinegary tang. Though orange peel might be nice in some mashed sweet potatoes…maybe with some soy sauce and a little chili flake…

Alton Brown has the best show on Food Network. He explains why he does things scientifically, and with puppets and diagrams!
