And yet another update

Due to some unforeseen circumstances, we've been obliged to revisit our winning recipes. To ensure the integrity of the contest and to be fair to all contestants, we have selected a new list of winners.

The $2,000 grand prize goes to Laura Curtis, The Bicycle Chef, for her original Sweet Potato Burger. Laura combined mashed sweet potato with a bit of ground turkey to create a textured burger packed with sweet potato flavor. Congratulations on your prize, Laura!

Our three finalist entries, each winning $400, include Mandy Heaston, our Gourmet Mom-on-the-Go, for her creamy Sweet Potato Sunshine Sorbet; Patty Guttu, the Gypsy Goddess, for her sweet n' spicy Chipotle Sweet Potato Quesadillas with Chorizo and Chris and Amy White, from A Couple in the Kitchen, for their rich and savory Sweet Potato & Pancetta Gratin. These finalists' recipes were easy to prepare and introduced new flavors to the sweet potato. Lemon, mint, chipotle or gruyere, you name it, it worked! Congratulations to all!


As you can see, the judges had plenty of winning recipes to choose from and we hope they've inspired you to create new sweet potato dishes of your own. Thank you all for your participation.
