Instructions

Sweet Potatoes

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Pierce potatoes all over with a fork, and place on lined baking sheet. Bake until tender, about 50-60 monutes depending on size.
  3. When cool enough to handle, slice potatoes in half length wise. Scoop potato pulp into a medium bowl with ginger paste, milk, butter, kosher salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, and pepper. Mash with a potato masher until smooth. Spoon mashed potato mixture evenly into potato shells. Place back on baking sheet.

Meringue

  1. Beat egg whites, cream of tartar, and kosher salt with a mixer on high speed until foamy, about 1 minute or less. Carefully add the powdered sugar, a tablespoon at a time, again beating at high speed, about 2 minutes or until stiff peaks form.
  2. Spoon meringue evenly over potatoes. Dab quickly with fingertip to make meringue form small peaks (see photos). Bake until meringue is golden brown, 7 to 8 minutes. Watch carefully so they don't get too browned!

Notes

  • Fresh ginger and or paste is preferred, but a substitute can be 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger.
  • You can also substitute half and half or heavy cream  for the milk.
  • If you don't have and cream of tartar on hand, substitute same amount of white vinegar. It helps stabilize the meringue.
