Preparation

Microwave the sweet potato on high until tender — about 4 minutes. Scoop out flesh and process until smooth. In a heavy saucepan over medium heat, bring milk to a boil. Add the cornmeal in a slow stream, whisking constantly.

Cook for about 3 to 4 minutes, stirring, until thick. Add allspice, butter and potato. Remove from burner when hot and stir in cheese. Add chives and season to taste.
