Hey There Regular Potatoes, Sweet Potatoes Just Kicked Your Ass

So this is what happens when you get home from work at 7 at night and need to throw together something for dinner--apparently things get real southern real fast.  Kielbasa is one of the best things on earth, period.  And then there's turkey kielbasa, which just so happens to have half the fat of Polska Kielbasa and all the deliciousness.  Thanks god.  I also want to take a moment to thank you for sweet potatoes.  Seriously, I don't know who I would be without sweet potatoes.  Regular potatoes, you just got handed a can of whoop-ass from your way better tasting  and very strangely bright orange brother.

So one day, when I was thinking about these unrealistically delicious foods which I love more than almost everything except ice cream, I realized the desperation for these two ingredients to meet, date and make a delicious dinner.  And that, my friends, is how this quick fix, straight from the south, perfect with corn bread meal, came to be.  Be prepared, if you're ready which you might not be, because this is among some of the awesomer, easy to make things you've ever experienced. 

what we'll need to create this pure awesomeness...

1  very large sweet potato (or 2 medium sized ones)

1  packaged link of Turkey Kielbasa (or Polska if you're feeling dangerous)

1  cup of BBQ Sauce (I use Sweet Baby Ray's but it's up to you)

1/3  cup of yellow mustard or spicy brown (for a little kick!)

1  tbs of olive oil

Dried Rosemary

Salt and Pepper to taste

 what we'll need to do...
1  preheat the oven to 400 degrees.  Chop the sweet potato into cubes and put in a square baking pan so that none of the potatoes are overlapping.  Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt, pepper, and rosemary.  Roast in oven for 40 minutes or until the potatoes are soft.  SOFT, do you hear me?  Don't cheat on this just because you're starting to feel hungry, because let me tell you, eating uncooked potatoes totally sucks....

2 while the potatoes are cooking, but not until there are about 15 minutes left, chop the kielbasa into rounds and cook on stove top on medium high until both sides are slightly browned and it smells unbearably awesome in your kitchen.

 yup... this is a bunch of sausage in a pan, in case you've never seen that before...

3  when the kielbasa is done cooking, reduce heat to low and add sweet potatoes, barbecue sauce and yellow mustard to pan.  Mix together  over low heat until the sauces are combined and warmed.  Serve topped with dried rosemary, corn bread and a beer. 

You're welcome.

JUST FOR THE RECORD: I SPELLED POTATO WRONG 8 TIMES IN THIS POST.  THANK YOU, SPELL CHECK, FOR NOT ALLOWING THAT EMBARRASSING FACT TO GO UNNOTICED.
