Are Jamaican sweet potatoes available here?? What would you use for this recipe if you can't get them?

grandma2, tried this one last weekend. It was quite tasty. Never made potato puddin with yam in it before, but it give a nice flavor. And the ginger gave it that extra zing. Another keeper. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

Blender can't do it....you would need a very good food processor or an electric meat grinder.

Thanks for correction. [img]/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]
