Directions: |
Directions:Preheat oven to 350º. Peel the baking potato and place inside of possum. Place possum in a large kettle and cover with cold water. Boil gently uncovered for about 30 minutes. Pour off broth and add fresh water. Return to a boil and cook slowly, until tender when pierced, but not falling off the bone (partially cooked). Remove possum to a roaster and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Blend the flour with cold water until smooth. Combine flour mixture with enough of the hot broth to make 2 cups of gravy. Arrange the sweet potatoes around the possum. Pour the gravy over meat and potatoes. Cover and bake at 375º until potatoes are nearly done, about 20 minutes; uncover and bake until meat browns and potatoes are soft, about 40 minutes. Serve hot. |
