Sweet Potato Recipes from

Arkansas Living in the 80s


A member recently called the Arkansas Valley Electric office in search of a “Sweet Potato Fluff" recipe that she thought was published in Arkansas Living in the 80s. The member explained that it was the best sweet potato recipe she and her family had ever eaten, and it has become a Thanksgiving tradition. However, she has recently lost the recipe and was hoping to get another copy.


A few AVECC employees assembled to search through every publication of Arkansas Living from 1980 to 1989. Unfortunately, the delicious “Sweet Potato Fluff” recipe was not found in these issues, so from your family at AVECC, please enjoy all the sweet potato recipes that were published!
