Game Day With Alexia {Recipe: Sweet Potato Casserole Bites}

Jump to Recipe -

When I say “Game Day” you all know what I mean, right? It’s football time!!

Game day extends past one day at our house to pretty much any day football is on. Some days friends or family join us in front of the TV (us meaning my husband and son) other days its just us. Either way, the best part about game day for me is the food!

You know who makes game day food pretty great? Alexia foods. Remember them? I worked with Alexia last year on a recipe challenge to create a new fry flavor. I’m excited to share that I’m working with them again and will be using some of their products over the next several months to make meal time and game time easier!

(In addition to their popular varieties of fries, Alexia also has a great lineup of appetizers and artisan breads. Make sure to check out all their products on their webpage!)

Things are always a little nutty around our house and because of that,  I am a huge fan of products that can make my life a little easier. For our most recent game day watching, I used Alexia Sweet Potato bites to re-invent sweet potato casserole, in a bite sized form. Super simple to make and a delicious appetizer to pass around during the game, Sweet Potato Casserole Bites are a fun bite sized app sure to be a hit with game day fans.

Here’s a little video and the recipe is below, so I hope you’ll check it out. Before that though, I have a great giveaway going on from Alexia that I think you’ll love.

    Oooh, I love sweet potatoes so much! I would take those sweet potato tater tots, wrap a piece of candied bacon around them and serve them with a sour cream/Greek yogurt-type sauce with just a bit of maple syrup and maybe some hot sauce to give it a zing? Mmmm!

    Love sweet potatoe fries. Didn’t know Alexia made Sweet Potatoe Bites. Will definitely have to try these.

    We’re not big on watching sports at our house (my husband does keep up with sports news on ESPN, but that’s about it.) However those sweet potato bites look delicious – I’m going to have to look for them next time I’m at the store! Here’s hoping that I can find them in our small town…

    I discovered their fries and fell in love…now moving on to the bites – trying out your recipe looks like the next thing on my list !

    For a game day, I’d serve burgers with Alexia Crinkle Cut Sweet Potato Fries. I’ve liked everything I’ve tried from Alexia – especially their Sweet Poatato products.

    Those are precious AND tasty looking! We have Alexia sweet potato fries at least twice a week. Not sure I’d want to do without them!

  52. Linda says

    You could make sweet potato nachos with the sweet potato waffle fries! The fries already have a little bit of a kick to them!

  56. Esther Widgren says

    Sweet potatoes are a favorite of my husband and stepdaughter. This is a definite
    “must try” appetizer!

      That’s what I thought the onion was when I first saw this. I was thinking of making that swap myself.

    These look great I am also going to try them wrapped in bacon- one of our favorite things to do with Alexia’s regular ones- althought the sweet potato crinkle cuts- I Love anything Sweet potato–Thanks Alexia’s for m aking them so easy!

    From the photo, I thought the onion was bacon. I think I’m going to give these a shot with everything the same but using bacon {brown sugar and all} instead of the onion. Sounds–and looks!–delicious!

  62. Chrissy says

    These look absolutely amazing. Genius! I can not wait to try this recipe….I wish I could have them right this second! Thanks for sharing 🙂

  63. Evil DelBono says

    Just made these… oh hells yes! I would have NEVER thought marshmallows and onion would go together, but they are yummy! We are doing appetizers and desserts for Christmas dinner, but they have to have a component of traditional Christmas dinner…. perfect!!!

  64. pas cher sac guess says

    Love anything with Haas avocados. I must try this. Maybe it will be this weekend.
