Sweet Potato with Goat Cheese Squash Purée and Pickled sweet Potatoes
Norton Sweet Potato Poached in Sweetened Condensed Milk with Goat Cheese Squash Purée and Cane Vinegar Pickled Norton Potatoes
Sweet potato variety drawn: Norton.
{Jennifer}: "My potatoes are kind of close to where I need them. I have never shaken like this in my life."
{Jennifer}: "I want to go sweet and savory, so it's going to be a riff on my grandmother's sweet potato pie. Is anyone sweating yet? Yes. So much."
At presentation: Kristen Kish: "Jennifer, you guys have a sweet potato, poached and sweetened condensed milk goat cheese squash purée, and the raw Nortons that I pickled in cane vinegar." Kish: "How long did you poach your potatoes, Jennifer?" {Jennifer}: "I don't know. I didn't even check them."
BOTTOM of the Norton round. Safe from elimination due to strong group competition. Tom Colicchio: "Flavors are really great. I mean, the sweet potato may be slightly under, but I just — I like the dish." Kristen Kish: "The cook was a little bit challenging, I think, on both Sieger and Jennifer." Judge: "Jennifer's threw me a little bit." At judges' table: "Jennifer and Justin actually showed really well. They were just in very strong groups."
