I bought 4 or 5 sweet potatoes, now I need recipes.
Simple ones.
All I can think of is mashed potatoes or baked potato, as the brown sugar pecan sweet potato casserole needs to not be in my house, so is not on my list.

sweet potato korma
Thickly chop 2 sweet potatoes
in a pan warm oil and cumin seeds, til they pop, like the dahl
add onions and ginger and sweat
add sweet potatoes and sweat for a further 10mins
in the food processor whizz 3 tomatoes, with a bit of garlic and some korma spices - turmeric, coriander, cinnamon, etc
mix in a tin of coconut milk and buzz together
add to pan and cook for at least an hour on low.
after an hour, add corn from 2 cobs and stir round, sweet potato should be soft, if not keep cooking!
once sweet potato is fairly soft, add a cup full of green lentils and mix into sauce.
after half an hour take a masher and LIGHTLY mash the potato into the sauce, thickening it, combining it all and making it a rich and thick dish. Leave some chunky bits of potato too, you could almost just mash this with a spoon by stirring it a few times, do it that lightly.0 -
sliced into thin chips and pan fried in duck grease - very tasty0

Fries....cut into fry size strips, toss with a little olive oil and spices. Spread out, salt and bake on well pammed metal cookie sheet on top shelf of oven at 400. Check after 15 minutes but depending on how thick cut they are, may take another 5 or 10 minutes. Yummy.
Have also seen this with egg white instead of oil, but not tried it that way.0 -

Sweet potato pancakes:
1/2 baked sweet potato (it needs to be soft)
1 egg
1 tbs almond butter
Mash the sweet potato. Mix in egg and almond butter. Whisk with a fork. Bake like pancakes on medium heat turning only once.
I eat these with a raspberry sauce on the side and it is so delicious!0 -

Sliced sweet potato drizzled in olive oil and sprinkled with dried chilli flakes, oven baked for about 25 mins make one of my favourite side dishes.0

You can cut them into matchsticks spray them with Pam with olive oil, salt and pepper to taste and back. They are amazing!!!!0

I had a really good breakfast dish with black beans, sweet potatoes, tomatoes, eggs, tortilla, etc.. .. mmmm... you can make a really good black bean and sweet potato salad as well, I think it has apples in it too. Some things I've had at restaurants, anyways.
Sweet potatoes are so good I just bake them and eat them plain with a little bit of salt.0 -
BUMP0
-
They are good just straight baked in the oven 400 for about 45 minutes don't put anything on them eat them straight up you will be surprised at how tasty they are "plain" although I would love to try the chipotle fries they look delicious, maybe tonight with my Cornish hen love them little "chickens"0

I like tossing steak-fry sized pieces of them in oil, lemon or lime juice, and a bit of honey, then spreading them on foil on a cookie sheet and baking them. Succulent!0
-
I keep it pretty simple....baked and topped with margarine, brown sugar and raisins.
Or mashed with pepper, margarine and garlic.0 -
I cube them and put them in a Pyrex dish with a teeny bit of olive oil drizzled on top, some garlic powder, and cinnamon. Bake at 350 for an hour. Delicious!0

sweet potato beet hash
Ingredients
1 large sweet potato, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 large fresh beet, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 slice bacon, cut into lardons
1 small onion, diced
Directions
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Toss the cut sweet potatoes and beets with olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Place on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until vegetables are golden, about 25 to 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, in a medium skillet over medium-low heat, add the bacon and render the fat until the bacon is crispy. Add the onions and season with salt, and continue to cook until the onions start to caramelize and turn golden, about 10 minutes. Add the roasted sweet potatoes and beets to the pan and stir to combine cooking another 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning, if necessary and serve immediately.0
