Sweet Potato Roll Recipe

Sweet Potato Roll Preparation

1. 1

   Prepare the Sweet Potatoes

   Peel and chop the sweet potatoes into chunks. Boil them in a pot of salted water until fork-tender, about 15-20 minutes. Drain and mash the sweet potatoes until smooth.

2. 2

   Make the Batter

   In a large mixing bowl, combine the mashed sweet potatoes, all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking powder, salt, and ground cinnamon. Mix well until combined.

3. 3

   Add Wet Ingredients

   In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. Pour this mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until just combined.

4. 4

   Prepare the Catfish

   Season the Chesapeake catfish fillets with salt and pepper. Heat a skillet over medium heat and cook the catfish for about 4-5 minutes on each side until cooked through. Remove from heat and flake into pieces.

5. 5

   Assemble the Roll

   Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C). Spread half of the sweet potato batter into a greased baking dish. Evenly distribute the flaked catfish and preserved ramps on top of the batter. Spoon the remaining batter over the filling.

6. 6

   Bake

   Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

7. 7

   Cool and Serve

   Allow the sweet potato roll to cool for about 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature.
