A sauce of pecans, oranges and brown sugar seems so predictable though - that's the first thing that popped into my mind. I wonder if there's a savory that I could do....? Isa, put on your thinking cap for me.

when I do my sweet potato stuffing for poblanos, I use cardamom, golden raisins, sage sausage, walnuts, red pepper flakes, garlic, ginger, cumin, garam masala and top w/cilantro and crumbled monterey jack cheese or mexican springle cheese and serve with a chilled pinot blanc.
you could probably use some of the seasonings mentioned in a little coconut milk to make the sauce and serve with the sausage in the side, and top w/roasted walnuts, cilantro and the cheese. damn, I may be making this soon.

ooooo.... ediblecomplex, thank you! Gosh, that sounds wonderful.

I could also crumble some bulk sage sausage, fry it off, drain it, and add to the sauce.....

Yeah, this will be made this week. I'll let you know how it comes out.

I don't have a ricer though, I read somewhere a fork would do the trick, does anyone have experience with this?

Rachel bought a potato ricer, specifically so she could make gnocchi.

Damn, this was almost exactly what I was going to write.
EC, I gotta tell you, it's getting a little spooky.

Judi, I your last post proves you need taste testers who can handle it.
And I highly doubt it would be too rich for me, so I'm in it for the long haul.
And you wouldn't have so many leftovers!

I have a potato ricer..so I'll come along with Isabella:)

LOL.. ya'll are just so so kind.

Hey... let's really do it one day. I want to try the sweet potato gnocchi too... we could make a few batches, a few different sauces....

A cook's day. A bottle or two of wine.... who's in? Everyone is welcome!
