Comments on: Holiday Recipes: Stuffed Sweet Potatoes Wrapped in Prosciutto http://www.whatwereeating.com/recipes/holiday-recipes-stuffed-sweet-potatoes-wrapped-in-prosciutto/ a Food & Recipe blog Sat, 28 Jan 2012 17:03:20 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 hourly 1 By: Parley http://www.whatwereeating.com/recipes/holiday-recipes-stuffed-sweet-potatoes-wrapped-in-prosciutto/#comment-86689 Parley Fri, 26 Nov 2010 14:57:00 +0000 http://www.whatwereeating.com/recipes/holiday-recipes-stuffed-sweet-potatoes-wrapped-in-prosciutto/#comment-86689 So I tried these as my contribution to a potluck Thanksgiving yesterday. They smelled and looked great while cooking, but I think maybe my sweet potatoes were too large? (The recipe called for "small sweet potatoes", and I picked the smallest ones I could find.) They were not quite cooked through, but my friends are forgiving and ate them anyway. I also substituted goat cheese for blue cheese, which seemed to work fine, and was possibly easier for incorporating the herbs. My biggest challenge was the prosciutto, which in my experience rips and separates a little bit even when you're not trying to wrap it tightly around a halved sweet potato. Did anyone come up with any solutions to this? Three of mine held, three completel came apart during cooking. So I tried these as my contribution to a potluck Thanksgiving yesterday.

The disks probably worked well enough for the whole stuffing thing! let me know how the bruschetta turns out if you make it! :-) susan… i think you’re right! mmmmm prosciutto! :-)

So I did. And (drum roll...) they were delicious! I'm thinking I may have to make some alterations though. I'm in Italy and couldn't find small sweet potatoes (?!) so I had to use these giant ones. Instead of wrapping prosciutto around a bowling ball I decided to slice the sweet potato into disks, place some sliced blue cheese in between and then wrap the prosciutto around the edge. It worked ok. But really the sweet potatoes are so big that even sliced like this they seem too big. I'm wondering.... what do you think if I tried to turn this into a bruschetta? Toast the bread then spread on a thin layer of s.p. then the cheese and prosciutto and pop it under the broiler? Maybe I'll try it this week with my left over ingredients. I just loved this combination so I really want to get it to work over here! Ciao, Thanks!! Ok, I’m new to your blog, but I saw this and HAD to make it. So I did. And (drum roll…) they were delicious!
