SWEET POTATOES.

e OUTHERN cooks know many ways
y OF preparing and serving sweet
potatoes which are unfamiliar to
the average Northern housewife Served
with pork chops or pork tenderloins the
sweet potato is capable of many vari-
ations.
One favorite dish calls for well
trimmed pork chops baked slowly in ID
moderate oven with frequent Blasting.
When done spread the meat portion Of
each chop on both sides with covering

onion juice. salt and pepper moistsn ned

the sweet potato has been spread on the
chops return them 20 the oven until the
potato coating is we'll Drowned. Deco
rate each chop bone with a trill of
paper and garnish with rings OF fried
apple and parsley.
Somewhat similar in flavor is a lunch
con dish Of pork tenderloin split and
spread with sweet potato PURGE highly
seasoned and Favored with onion JUICE
This Is also baked slowly IN the oven. "a
pork requires thorough cooking Serve
with apple sauce.
Sweet potato baked with sausage
makes an excellent luncheon or supper
dish. Choose small potatoes OF uniform
shape or cut large potatoes down 10 the
desired size Cut a tunnel through each
one with an apple corer and draw a
small sausage through the opening.
Place the potatoes In baking pan and
cook until done. turning them once or
twice and bastsng them during the proc
ess. The ends OF the sausage that pro-
iect beyond the potato should be pricked
several times before placing them in the
oven to prevent bursting.
Sweet potatoes and bacon en- bro
Ghetto can be served at breakfast.
luncheon or supper, The potatoes
should be parboiled before being ar
ranged on the skewers. Both potatoes
and bacon must be cut of similar size.
though the potatoes should be at least
fourth Of an inch thick, while the
bacon should be sliced thin. Arrange
squares of potato and bacon alternately
