My wife needs a recipe, and google has let me down. We've had a sweet dipping sauce for sweet potato fries that she is trying to recreate for a Relay for Life fundraiser tonight. The sauce we want to make seems like a simple powdered sugar dip, but we need to make a good bit of it. Think we could take a glaze recipe and lower the viscosity? Ideas?

quote:

POWDERED SUGAR GLAZE
1 tbsp. butter
1 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 to 2 tbsp. milk
1/8 tsp. salt

Put butter in 2 cup glass measure cup. Cook on high for 30 seconds or until melted. Add all ingredients. Starting with 1 1/2 tablespoons milk, add more only if needed to get glaze consistency. Yield: About 1/2 cup.

Sounds...weird. I'd go with something ketchup or yogurt based...ketchup, honey, curry powder, cumin maybe?

If you really want sugar though, I'd look for a recipe that contains water.

ideas..

this is a really cool site--this is what it has to say about sweet potato...the groupings in the graphic are just based on types of food--but the closer the word is to the center, the more strongly the flavor 'match' is

That's what my wife thinks it is. Just water and powdered sugar.

I love that stuff. The bottles I buy are larger, but I use it all the time.

The Jamaican restaurant that serves sweet potatos fries here serves them with a cinnamon-sugar butter.

I've had cinnamon icing for sweet potato fries. Amazing.

probably doesn't help cause I've never made it before

Here ya' go. This is from one of Emeril's cookbooks. It's a white remoulade sauce.

I was born and raised in New Orleans, but I don't think I'd ever tried a white remoulade sauce until I found this recipe. I made it myself at home and it turned out great.

Here's the recipe as I found it, with no tweaks on my part. I'll mention the tweaks I made after giving you the recipe as it is found in the cookbook.


3/4 mayo
2 tbs finely chopped green onions (green part only)
2 tbs finely chopped yellow onions
2 tbs finely chopped celery
2 tsp finely chopped parsley
1 tbs Dijon mustard
1 tsp prepared horseradish
1/2 tsp minced garlic
1/2 tsp Worcestire sauce
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 white pepper

**Combine all ingredients in a bowl and whisk to blend. Store in refrigerator until ready to serve. Goes great with fried seafood, fried green tomatoes, or as as a dip for sweet potato fries.



***I've made it several times now and for my taste I like it better with the following tweaks: I leave out the green onion, celery and the parsley. I also use black pepper instead of white pepper simply because I prefer black pepper.
