any sweet potato recipies?

Question

we've finally got sweet potatos in irelandand i'd really love some decent recipies to try them out. thanx

Answer 1

I enjoy simple baked sweet potatoes - like baked white. Either top with butter, salt and pepper or sometimes I add cinnamon/sugar.

Pierce the sweet potato like you would a white potato so the steam can escape rather than the potato bursting in the oven. I like to put the sweet potatoes in a pie pan rather than directly onto the oven rack, because they seep more moisture than a white potato.

I'm sure you'll enjoy sweet potatoes, whether you fix them plain or fancy!

Answer 2

Hey I'm originally from Ireland, and here's a simple recipe for sweet potatoes
about 2 lbs of sweet potatoes peeled, and cut into medium size pieces
1 stick butter
2 cups brown sugar
1 1/2 cups maple syrup or molasses
1 table spoon cinnamon
cook in oven on 300 for 2 hrs or till tender

Answer 3

Put them in the microwave whole for a few minutes then eat like a baked potato. Cut into sticks and deep fry them or put them on a greased cookie sheet in a 400F oven for sweet potato fries. Peel, cut into chunks and roast them in the oven with a little oil and maybe some other root vegetables. Peel, boil, mash them. Add some butter and milk or something else to make them creamy like mashed potatoes.

Answer 4

Butter Pecan Sweet Potatoes

8 med. sweet potatoes (5 lbs.)
2 Tbsp. olive oil
Kosher salt
2 Tbsp. cold butter, cut into small pieces
2 Tbsp. light brown sugar
1/3 cup pecans
1/8 tsp. cayenne pepper

Preheat oven to 400ºF. Peel potatoes. Halve lengthwise, slice crosswise into ½” thick slices. On a baking sheet, toss potatoes w/ olive oil and salt. Transfer half the potatoes to a 2nd baking sheet. Bake until tender about 25-35 min., tossing occasionally. Toss potatoes with butter, brown sugar, pecans, and cayenne pepper, dividing evenly between both baking sheets. Bake again until sugar is caramelized and hard, about 10 minutes. Gently toss and serve. Serves 8.
