I have a recipe somewhere for baked sweet potatos that's essentially butter, brown sugar, pecans etc.
Ah, ingredient list:

4 Cups Mashed Sweet Potatoes
3/4 cup white sugar
1/4 cup melted butter
1/3 cup milk
2 beaten eggs
1 tsp vanilla

topping
1/4 cup cold butter, cut into small pieces
1/2 cup flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 Cup Pecans

It is really, really good.

Pumpkin spice hash browns would be awful.

Would they?

Is there any equivalent to this in America?

Looks like it's pretty close to cottage cheese, but not quite.

And the discussion goes full circle... No, there's no equivalent in America. It's not cottage cheese. It's not even close to cottage cheese. If you find it at all, it will be in a specialty place somewhere, and almost certainly labeled "quark."

The closest that seems possible would be some sort of hybrid of sour cream and cream cheese. Which probably isn't exactly right, but is delicious anyway. I haven't actually had real quark ever, so of course I could be way off.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

Yeah, probably. Then again, I'm not a fan of hash browns/potato pancakes.

It's not the same at all, but it's probably as close as you can come, yeah.

I've made eggs and potatoes with pumpkin spice and they're surprisingly tasty. It's in the same vein as french toast.

Bloody hell, I am physically incapable of making small amounts of food. I ran out of things to put leftovers in.... again...

As for the thing, this time it was home-made teriyaki stew with pork, broccoli, bamboo shoots and those small corn things. Oh and noodles.

I love surprising friends with gifts of food when I do this.  Everyone wins.

I meant to post this a week ago, but I made some more onigiri, only this time filling them with raspberry jam. This... wasn't a great idea. They aren't too bad, though. I made a mistake in trying to cover them with confectioner's sugar. And a worse mistake of using cheap confectioner's sugar. I can taste the corn starch in it. I think the corn starch was also repsonsible for making a few of them fall apart.

I probably should have used a different jam than raspberry.

I've been making a lot of hash browns lately. Who knew grated potato was so delicious?

So, I've decided to make a gumbo at some point. Does anybody know any good recipes?

I think Sappho does. She posted some recipes earlier in this thread. I think it was her. It might have been someone else.

It was not me. Alas, I have never made a gumbo.
