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.

    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.

    I would need a duck. One that doesn't shampoo, so a teenage boy duck. Then I'd have to squeeze his unwashed oily duck featerhead. While he squaks and flaps... This would be diifficult , i have tried similar things with human adolescent boys.
