Maple Miso Sweet Potatoes combine sweet, savory, and nutty flavors, perfect for 10 side servings or 4 main dishes. Start by grilling thick slices of sweet potatoes, seasoned with Meat Church Blanco Seasoning, in a hot skillet over a Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill. A sauce made of red miso, Tapped Maple Syrup, water, and seasoning is poured over the potatoes, then cooked until tender and the sauce reduces, with butter added at the end for richness. Serve the sweet potatoes over a yogurt made from Greek yogurt, the ends of the sweet potatoes, feta, and garlic. Garnish with roasted pistachios and crumbled feta. Pair with a side of baby arugula tossed in a vinaigrette of Texas Olive Ranch Roasted Garlic Extra Virgin Olive Oil and a mix of white wine and apple cider vinegars for a fresh, tangy balance.

Directions

Preheat your Yoder Smokers YS640s Pellet Grill to 450ºF set up for direct grilling (diffuser removed).
Preheat a 12” Lodge Steel Skillet on the grill. Place the skillet over direct flame.
Season one side of the sweet potato medallion. Sear the sweet potato medallions in the oil. Flip and season.
Whisk miso, maple syrup, water and Meat Church Blanco Seasoning. Pour over the potatoes. Close lid and cook until softened and the sauce is reduced, then add the butter and let it melt. The potatoes should be tender when probed with a toothpick, but not falling apart. Remove from the grill.
Combine the tips of the cooked sweet potatoes with the yogurt, feta and garlic. With an immersion blender or food processor, process until smooth.
For the dressed arugula, combine the vinegars and oil and whisk. Toss the arugula in the vinaigrette.
Serve the potatoes over the sweet potato yogurt, topped with pistachios and feta, with the dressed arugula on the side.
