Sweet potato recipes?
Replies

Its really nice with tuna, or as a stuffed potato- add cheese, peas, sour cream, bacon/ham and onion. Or healthier alternatives.1

Yea never thought of that it actually sounds really good, I tryed doing a baked one before too but it didn't turn out right either, they don't seem to cook the same as normal potatoes1

No help on the chips - but this is my favorite thing to do with sweet potatoes: Roast whole in oven or microwave, mash with fat of choice (butter, olive oil or coconut oil are my favs), lime juice, lime zest, salt and cayenne to taste. I make a big batch every week and freeze in individual servings for lunch most days.3

I guess you have to learn the right amount of time to put them in the microwave. I always give them about 30 seconds longer than I think they will need. A small one gets about 3 minutes, a medium one gets 6 and a large one gets about 8. It depends on my mood.
There are other ways of cooking sweet potato. You can boil them or cook them in the oven.
I don't think they need to be cooked quite as long as potatoes. Not sure why.0 -
I like baked sweet potatoes. Sweet potato and black bean empanadas are good, but a bit more work than I've wanted to put into cooking lately. Soy dijon chicken thighs with sweet potatoes are much less labor intensive and also very good. I want to try sweet potato corn cakes and a slowcooker version of this lentil, sausage, and sweet potato soup.1

Yea thanks will be much appreciated, the more recipes the better1 -
I tried this and liked it: http://skinnyms.com/sweet-potato-and-turkey-skillet-recipe/ The trick is to dice the sweet potato really small or it will be too firm (crunchy). I usually just scrub the skin under cold water, prick all over with a knife and microwave it for about 5 min, flip it over and do another 5 min. I add butter spray, like Olivo or I Can't Believe It's Not Butter, and add garlic salt or sometimes just cinnamon.
As for the chips, I use a mandolin and slice them almost paper thin, use an oil sprayer, like Misto, with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle on my seasonings. This is a good recipe to try: http://minimalistbaker.com/baked-sweet-potato-chips/ She's right, you need to have them very thin and turn them once, in a low oven for quite a while. Let them rest to finish crisping up and you should have good results.
I hope this helps!1 -

I think that was my problem I was leaving them to thick and maybe to high of a heat in the oven which was just cooking the outside really, thanks il give that a try cause there quite a nice food when cooked properly0 -
I forgot to mention pricking the potatoes lol. I'm not sure if its important, but its something I do every time.0

Cornstarch is usually in the baking aisle near flour and baking soda.
You can also shake chicken wings in it and bake to make crispy instead of frying.2 -

Oh really?? Is there any flavour off the corn starch or does it just make them crispy?0 -
You could always try flavouring the corn flour yourself by adding some spice (chilli , garlic powder, chicken 5 spice etc)0

I just tried a baked sweet potato with an over easy egg on top...it was delicious!1
-
After slicing fairly thin, soak the slices in cold water for at least two hours. This pulls the starch from them and allows them to crisp up better.1

I love just tossing them in a little olive oil and salt and roasting them. I also found a recipe recently where you peel, cube and microwave them to partially cook, then sauté with olive oil, yellow peppers and diced jalapeños. It was a really nice side dish.0
-
I like them baked or microwaved and stuffed with BBQ chicken or pulled pork or sloppy joe mix. I also like to grill slices of baked potato too. This potato salad is awesome! Use white and red potatoes and light sour cream for the dressing really good!

I throw them in the microwave for a few minutes. Then cut in half and add a 1/2 tbs of butter. Then I sprinkle pumpkin pie spice, ground cloves, and ground ginger. I add those same spices to mashed sweet potatoes, too.0
