Murphy sold the diner to his head cook who used his part of the prize money as part of the down payment. Then Mike (who had been appointed to fill out a State Senate term for the elected guy who snuffed it. He was then elected for a full term - but resigned part way through to take up the position as head of The Greater Springfield Chamber of Commerce. I'm going to Charlie Parker's fir breakfast after I upload my replies. They have an "Early Bird" special of two eggs (any style), potatoes, meat, toast and coffee at a good price if you get there before 08:00. I usually get Tater Tots for my potato as they are one of the few venues in toown that offers them. And since I am "coffied out" by the time I leave home they give me a glass of juice or milk in place of the more usual coffee. MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06 Title: Sweet Potato Tater Tots Categories: Potatoes, Breads, Vegetables Yield: 6 servings 2 lg Sweet potatoes (about 2 - pounds) 1 tb Olive oil 2 ts Cornstarch 3/4 ts Sea salt 1 ts Garlic powder 1 ts Paprika 1/2 ts Onion powder 1 c Panko bread crumbs Cooking spray Set the oven @ 425ºF/218ºC. Scrub the sweet potatoes (which are different than yams); pierce several times with a fork. Bake until tender, 50-60 minutes. Don't skip the scrub and wash step; that's a major sweet potato cooking mistake. When cool enough to handle, peel and discard the potato skins. Place the pulp in a large bowl. Lightly mash with oil, cornstarch and seasonings. Shape 1 tablespoon of sweet potato mixture into 1" long cylinders. If you find the mixture to be sticky, coat your hands lightly with a bit of olive oil. Roll the cylinders in panko, pressing gently to help adhere. Place on a greased baking sheet, then spray lightly with cooking spray. EDITOR'S TIP: If you're nervous about your tots sticking, line the baking sheets with a single layer of parchment paper. Cook until golden and crispy Bake @ 425ºF/218ºC until golden brown and crisp, 30-40 minutes, turning once halfway through baking. Serve immediately!
