Recipe Steps
Bring milk and 1 and a half cups water to a boil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat; gradually whisk in grits and add grated sweet potatoes.
Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer for at least 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, or cook until thick and creamy.
When grits are thick and creamy, add cheese. Stir until melted. Taste and adjust salt, butter (if using), or other seasonings to your liking. Serve hot.
Tips and Notes:
Heat up stock and milk with chopped onions and bay leaf. Bring to boil and let simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove bay leaf before adding to grits.
Cook longer for a tender and creamier grits, reduce heat to low and make sure to scrape the bottom and sides to prevent scorching.
