Sweetpotato Cornbread
Sweetpotato Cornbread, developed by Chef and Co-Owner Stephanie Tyson of Sweet Potatoes in Winston-Salem, N.C., blends classic cornmeal with warm cinnamon, nutmeg, and mashed sweetpotatoes for a moist, lightly sweet twist on a Southern staple. Baked until golden, this flavorful cornbread pairs perfectly with soups, stews, or barbecue.
