00:00Ice cream is mandatory.
00:01For those of you that are lactose intolerant, I'm sorry.
00:05I'm Regina King, and I am gonna make
00:07one of my family's beloved dishes, sweet potato cobbler.
00:11It's actually my stepdad, Fred, his dish.
00:14First, you're gonna peel your potatoes.
00:16I try to use potatoes that are all about the same size.
00:20I treat it almost like I'm doing potato salad,
00:22even though I'm not.
00:22My stepdad, when he would make this, he would cut them long.
00:26He had to be strong.
00:27If you have a whole big potato, cut them long, lengthwise.
00:30You can lay your potatoes in there, nice and pretty.
00:34Once you get that all in there, you take sugar,
00:37your nutmeg, your cinnamon, a little bit of flour,
00:40and you wanna make sure you're just only zesting
00:43that top layer of skin.
00:45You don't wanna get any of the pit in.
00:46One thing that I do, I will slice the orange,
00:49take a little bit of the orange juice,
00:50and I'll actually add my vanilla extract and brandy extract
00:54in there and then just kinda drizzle it
00:57over the whole situation.
00:59Once you've done that, you're gonna go,
01:01I'm gonna get your pie crust.
01:02So, a little secret, I always get an extra pie crust,
01:06especially with that melted butter on top.
01:08Sprinkle a little bit of sugar and put that in the oven as well.
01:11Those people that want extra crust, you got it right there.
01:14Oh, look at this.
01:19Juices pop through.
01:23Ice cream is mandatory and you're just gonna bust right into that.
