Sweet Potato Polenta

I think one of my new rediscovered favorite foods is polenta!  I've decided it tastes great with many different main courses, and the possibilities are endless as to what flavors you can mix in.  This recipe is a combination of a few others I saw.  I could have put the sweet potatoes through a food processor for a more homogeneous texture, but skipped this step.  It turned out creamy a delicious - a must try!

Ingredients:
2 medium-sized sweet potatoes
1 C yellow corn meal
1 C cold water
3 C boiling water
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp dried sage
1 C shredded Gouda cheese

Directions:
1.) Bake sweet potatoes until fully cooked (350 about 30 mins).
2.) Cool sweet potatoes and remove from skin.
3.) Mash sweet potatoes and set aside.
4.) Mix together corn meal and cold water.  Allow to sit 3 mins.
5.) Add in desired seasonings and turn burner to medium-high.
6.) Pour boiling water into mixture and stir constantly until boiling.
7.) Reduce heat and simmer until water is absorbed.  Stir occasionally.
8.) Add in mashed sweet potatoes and cheese.
9.) Stir until cheese is melted and serve immediately.

Serves 6-8.
