sweet potato tamales
There is (was?) a restaurant in the Silver Lake section of Los Angeles
where I ate sweet potato tamales. They were very good, although I though they needed more sweet potatoes. Since then I have been trying to get my tamal making friends to make some with sweet potatoes. Nobody was interested, so yesterday I decided to do it myself -- my first attempt at making tamales. I made three kinds using cooked (boiled) sweet potatoes and masa with sugar, home-made chicken broth, and "I Can't Believe it Isn't Butter" instead of lard. I wanted to use brown sugar, but my store here in Mexico doesn't carry it. I wish I put in some nutmeg or pumpkin pie spice. The three kinds we 1. the potatoes blended into the masa with no filling – a little too strong on the potato 2. mashed potato filling -- good 3. chunks of potato filling -- best All three turned out quite tasty although they looked pretty deformed. I certainly need more practice in assembly. They were better cold this morning. With a little whipped cream, they would be a good desert. |
