Lemon Pepper Baked Sweet Potato

Tue, 08 Sep 2009 11:06:57 -0400

I prefer a baked sweet potato over an Idaho but I don't like them dolloped with extra sweetness like other recipes using brown sugar and cinnamon or honey. The contrast of the sweet potato with the lemon pepper seasoning gives it a balance that works for me so maybe you'll like it too! -- posted by carmenskitchen

Black Bean & Sweet Potato Enchiladas

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 17:17:03 -0400

Yummy! Adapted from "Vegan Planet," this recipe is something my non-vegetarian hubby requests regularly. Roasting the sweet potatoes is absolutely the key to this recipe - I've cooked them other ways before and it turns out much less flavorful. It looks like a lot of ingredients, but it goes together quickly and makes great left overs too! In the future, I plan to try substituting the salsa for homemade enchilada sauce and more tomatoes. -- posted by Veggie_Girl

Rosie's Sweet Potato Pies

Mon, 14 Sep 2009 18:03:17 -0400

Found this in the Times-Picayune. It was reposted in response to a request who lost his copy of it from Hurricane Katrina's flooding. Too many treat the sweet potato the same as pumpkin when making pies. It has a different more subtle flavor that benefits from judicious use of only nutmeg to let its own glorious flavor shine through. Only difference between this & our own recipe is we roast rather than boil our sweet potatoes. Posted as printed in The Times-Picayune. NOTE - this can be mixed aheaad of time & stored in the fridge to be poured into prepared crusts when ready to bake (a great thing when the oven is full!). -- posted by Buster's friend

Stuffed Tomatoes (Gemista, Improved)

Tue, 15 Sep 2009 12:07:56 -0400

Hand stuffed tomatoes are a Greek speciality and one of the most traditional Greek foods around. Especially this way is a little inproved with healthyer ingreedients and not losing on taste, in fact it tastes better. the optional veggies are a must, and I'd recomend you spread them chopped all over the pan. -- posted by Chef Nikko-san

Vegan Sweet Potato Pie

Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:33:13 -0400

We grew a wonderful crop of sweet potatoes this year. So I though, there is a pie in here somewhere! I found a couple of recipes on the net for Sweet Potato Pie but didn't really like the ingredients of either, so decided to tweak them and make one pie to suit my tastes. I used my Easy Vegan Spelt Pie Crust in this pie. http://www.recipezaar.com/Easy-Vegan-Spelt-Pie-Crust-196863 Always make sure your sweet potatoes are cooked before using them in a pie. You could even prepare the filling the day before if you like. It's up to you how you want to cook your sweet potatoes. I'm going to bake mine because I feel boiling will introduce too much water into the sweet potatoes. I didn't include the cooking time for the potatoes in this receipe. Here's a link that hows a few different ways to cook the potatoes: http://www.ehow.com/how_5362516_cook-potatoes-three-different-ways.html I used 2 lbs. of potatoes. Once they were cooked and peeled they were closer to the 1 3/4 lbs. needed for the pie. -- posted by Chef Joey Z.

"pumpkin Pie" Filling for Mexico

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 10:16:26 -0400

I live in Chapala, Jalisco, Mexico and canned pumpkin is rather expensive as it is imported. I have worked out what I believe to be a rather good substitute. I usually for go the crust and bake it as a custard of sorts. Where do I get the brown sugar cooked camotes??? From the guy with the wheelbarrow on the plaza in Chapala or sometimes in the arcade there is a lady selling them. You will notice there is no sugar added..... that's how sweet these camotes are. -- posted by davinandkennard

Grandma's Sweet Potato Crunch (Also Called Sweet Potato Souffle)

Thu, 05 Nov 2009 12:22:26 -0500

My grandma did not like marshmallows on her sweet potatoes, but she would make it half and half for the kids. When she would make this for the holidays there was always a little Maker's Mark in it, but you can also leave the bourbon out if you don't have any on hand. I make mine just like she always did, and I still sneak into the fridge with a spoon and go after these potatoes! This recipe makes enough for about 6-8 people, but we usually double it since it's so good cold. -- posted by CharlieGal

Sat, 07 Nov 2009 13:17:07 -0500

My friend Tricia made this for a cookout and I fell in love! It is the only potato salad I will make from now on. My husband never eats potato sald. He says "If there is meat around, why waste the time on side dishes?" He ate two HUGE servings of this......it is THAT good! If you cannot find candied jalapenos, just use one small fresh jalapeno (seeded and minced) and a tablespoon of sugar....it is just as good. We love curry, so we add more curry powder. Taste it and customize it to your taste! The long prep time is the passive time needed to chill the potatoes. -- posted by LizP

Although you can use American sweet potato, it is best with Japanese sweet potato if you can find it.

This makes small 4 servings ie what I call Japanese serving size, less than 1 cup per person. -- posted by Rinshinomori

Sweet Potato or Pumpkin Pie

Mon, 16 Nov 2009 09:51:41 -0500

Whipped Sweet Potatoes and Bananas With Honey

Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:00:10 -0500

From Tyler Florence, Ultimate Thanksgiving. I like the idea of using banana and honey instead of sugar for the sweetness. I can't stand those yucky, overly sweet sweet potatoes that we here in the south usually serve. This is a better option for those of us who enjoy sweet potatoes without all the sugar. I did retain the pecan topping but you can probably cut it back to 1/2 cup of brown sugar. Enjoy! -- posted by ThreeGoodCooks

This recipe combines some of the most iconic tastes of fall--butternut and acorn squash, sweet potato, apple--in a sweet and savory pot of deliciousness. I recommend serving with a dollop of sour cream. And cornbread. All amounts for seasonings are estimates--I tend to season as I go and according to taste; I have a feeling these are underestimates. I will be sure to update the next time I make this with adjusted amounts. I used a smoked (pre-cooked) ham steak for this; I have also made it with other kinds of ham, with turkey sausage, and without meat altogether with positive results. -- posted by Tlharin

Twice Baked Sweet Potatoes

Mon, 23 Nov 2009 20:51:44 -0500

Sweet potatoes are oh so healthy. The drawback is when people add all the junk. So how could I make something a little more dressed up that plain old baked sweet potatoes, but healthier than a sweet potato pie. This is what will grace our Thanksgiving Table this year. -- posted by Feeding my Family

Paula Deen Sweet Potato Balls

Sat, 28 Nov 2009 15:31:49 -0500

This recipe came directly from the FoodNetwork.com website, and they were highlighted as one of Paula's Thanksgiving 2009 foods in her Thanksgiving Special aired in 19 November 2009 on Food Network . The original airing of the "Thanksgiving Special" was 10 November 2005...just in case you want to look back in the archives! Some say the recipe is too sweet. So, you may want to test-drive the recipe for your own sweetness. These suggestions you might make as I did: I let the sweet potatoes fully cool before mashing, I omitted the orange zest and put just a small amount of orange juice (not a huge orange taste fan), and cut back the brown sugar to 1/3 of a cup. One reviewer said that she only used 1/2 of a large marshmallow after she had them oozing out with a full marshmallow. However, Paula Deen states that if you overcook your Sweet Potato Balls then the marshmallow will burst out of the ball. So be careful not to over-bake them if you choose a whole marshmallow. I chose to roll the balls in chopped pecans and then placed each ball in a cup of a nonstick muffin tin (the recipe made exactly 12 large balls--enough to fill a full tin). I also made some with the coconut mixture. Another option would be to roll them in oats, sugar, & cinnamon OR coconut & pecans. I put the filled muffin tin in the refrigerator overnight and baked the next day after removing my turkey from the oven. They came out perfectly! -- posted by McGowan Family
