Japanese sweet potato. Purple Sweet potato. Baked perfectly tender and naturally sweet – so delish! Really, NOTHING needs to top these tender treats – but, we must, in this test case.

Sweet, but a bit peppery and savory with deep cola flavors and dark, black pepper – the Vanilla Cola Sauce. Nitro vanilla cola + butter + salt and PEPPER – all reduced, simmered, silkened, and thickened into a gorgeous, saucy glaze.

The plan was to serve this over the uniquely sweet and colorful sweet potatoes, in addition to steamed lobster and green asparagus. Long story aside – THAT didn’t happen – but this did! The sauce is drizzled over the potatoes, alongside a soft cooked egg. Ooey – gooey – eggy – sweetly, spicy, gourmande, and delectable. 🤤
Give it a go!
