Happy Boy Farms was showing off their Nancy Hall Sweet Potatoes this weekend at the Montclair Farmers Market. Just as heirloom tomatoes made their way into mainstream home cooking, sweet potato varieties are on their way.

According to the Steele Plant Company, Nancy Halls tend to be a favorite of the silver fox set, as Nancy Halls gained their popularity in the 30′s and 40′s. That qualifies as a “remember when our food supply was still uncorrupted?” moment. The yellow flesh and thin skin make a juicy baked potato. Now just serve it still wrapped in foil, and you have haute cuisine circa 1936.
