Just about anything you can do with a regular spud, you can do with a
sweet potato. Some examples:
Sweet potato bread, rolls, "PIE", soup, fries, salad, baked, mashed,
hash browns.

Thin slices and saute over low flame in butter.
Cube it in potato soup (or minestrone)

And this, though written for yams, can be done well with SP:

<begin paste of an old post>

1 1/4 lbs yams (raw, as in uncooked)

Bake 'em. Poke holes in the top with a fork. Rub them with a little oil,
butter or margarine and sprinkle with salt. Into the oven they go at 450F
for an hour. Treat them like more moist baked potatoes. Delicious!

We have a hard time stopping the neighbors from devouring 100% of our
sweet potato chips. We use a very sharp "vegetable peeler" to make thin
slices off the patates, then deep-fry them in canola oil, and salt them
wehen they come out.

Tasty, quick, and fun. Put them in vacuum bags and they last a while,
too, in theory.

I like to partially cook a sweet potato in the microwave, then slice
and brush with butter and curry powder. I finish them on my George
Foreman grill until they are brown on the outside.

Slice the sweet potatoes (with skins) about 1/4" thick. Steam them till
almost cooked. Dump out the water. Add one thinly sliced onion, a
couple small globs of butter, a couple tablespoons of brown sugar and a
couple cranks of black pepper. Stir till coated and potatoes are
cooked.
-----------------------------------------------

I also like to nuke sweet potatoes, then cut in half and score lines
into them. Melt some butter and brown sugar in the microwave, then add
some pecans. Drizzle over the top of potatoes and pop them under the
broiler for a couple of minutes.
------------------------------------------------

Sweet potato french fries with Ranch dressing instead of ketchup. Yum.

G'day Denise,

I can see why you call these recipes for *sweet* potatoes! ;-)

Sweet Potato Salad with Chili Lime Dressing
Just Add Water
http://www.epicurious.com/features/c...ews/1999/water

March 1999
Lauren Chattman

William Morrow
2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch chunks
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
2 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/4 cup finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1/2 medium-size red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4 inch dice [See how
on streaming video]
4 scallions, white and light green parts, finely chopped

Place the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan and cover with water. Bring to
a boil and cook until just tender, 7 to 10 minutes (don't overcook or your
salad will be mushy and falling apart.) Drain and transfer to a large bowl.
While the potatoes are cooking, make the dressing. Whisk together the olive
oil, lime juice, chili powder, cumin, cilantro, salt, and pepper in a small
bowl. Add the red bell pepper and scallions to the potatoes and toss with
the dressing. Season again with salt and pepper. Serve warm or refrigerate
and bring to room temperature before serving.

NOTE: I always roast the sweet potatoes instead. It makes a world of
difference in this recipe!

Makes 6 servings.

Hot Coarse Mixed Root Veg. Mash.

Dice sweet potatoes, carrots too if you like (in fact any mix of root
vegetables is great for this).

In a large pan, sauté onion, garlic, green chiles in butter and olive oil,
with plenty of black pepper and some salt.

When softened add the vegetables and *barely* enough liquid to cover, and
cook until almost tender enough for a normal mash, but with a little bite
still.

Drain saving the liquid and set aside, keep warm.

Add the liquid back to the pan and reduce down to about 1/4 to 1/2 of a cup
(for ~1lb starting veg.), add back the vegetables with the pan still on the
heat, and mash keeping it fairly coarse, adding grated strong cheddar to
taste (not so much as to make it really cheesy! Keep it quite subtle for
this one), 1 - 2 tsp ready made yellow mustard, and more butter if you wish,
taste and adjust seasoning if desired.

I like this served with some good grilled pork sausages personally, but it
goes great with steaks/chops of all kinds IMO!

HTH!

I must say I agree that they are great in soups! My wife makes a gorgeous
sweet potato soup with nothing but sweet potatoes, leeks, pepper and quality
vegetable stock, sometimes a little cream too. It's bloody dreamy!

Another one - sweet potato and onion rostii (however the hell it's
spelled!) - just make it like a normal one - they're gorgeous.

Looks like I will have to hope for another good crop next time, as all

Sweet potato fries......
Superior to fries made with regular spuds any day. :-)

Yam pancakes. Make like regular potato pancakes, just
substitute yams!

Works either starting with mashed, or grated like hash browns.

By nuking instead of baking, you're totally missing the sugar
development that comes from the long cooking time.
