[GrumpysWife]

My sister makes these and they are awesome!

[Elijahsmama]

I dehydrate sweet potatoes but you can do it in the oven as well. I don't use any oil on the ones I out in the dehydrator just a little sea salt. They are amazing and addicting. Just slice them pretty thin that is the key to it.

  when I prepared them this way, the ones that did not burn were soggy. 

    and a little rubbery.

     it was like eating little round discs of rubber. a bit too chewy.

      what did I do wrong?

 

  still shopping for a dehydrator... can make many snacks for the ministry

ok, I have to share this, Pampered Chef has 2 microwave tools for making potato chips, one is an easy slicer that slices your veggies or potatoes super think in just seconds!, the other is a micro-wave plate for cooking them.... they are literally done in minutes, perfectly, no fat and nice and crunchy!, you might want to look into it!

Okay, this might seem a bit weird, but I actually go more for the savory side of things when it comes to sweet potatoes . . .

I eat them just like I would a baked potato - a little butter, sour cream, maybe some bacon bits.

Also have mashed them and sprinkled in feta and fresh cracked pepper and those were really good too.

i'm making myself hungry . . .

[carribbeangrl01]

Sweet potato pie is the only way I really like them. It's made pretty much same as pumpkin pie but with sweet potatoes. Ohh soooo good

Anyone want to make it and send me some?

[Miss Mouse]

Ok girls her is a lesson coming from your neighbor Way up North.

Here a sweet potato is with white flesh and what we call Yams ( your sweet potato) has orange flesh.

I love both and yes they are packed with nutrition. Here is a few things I do with them.

Soup ( so many good recipes on the net) one I just made that we had on our way home in Korea was a white fleshed sweet potato soup with a touch of cinnamon and nutmeg and maple syrup. Puréed after all ingredients are cooked.

I throw 1 Yam ( orange flesh) into my white potatoes and mash using organic chicken broth,salt n pepper( no fat pure nutrition) .

When we put a full day in service the sisters often bring just plain baked sweet potatoes ( white flesh) as a snack . I love when they share

There is also lots of recipes to make oven fries using a bit of olive oil.

As I always say I yam what I yam ..........

[LeslieDean]

I share what ever I have with you Angela!

Miss Mouse I am going to try the soup but it really sounds like a heavenly desert'

I have seen the white fleshed yams and have only tried them once- they tasted like a very mild flavored sweet potato-flavor not as strongbox very good.

Once held a Bible study at a table full of freshly harvested sweet potato's.

Dirt and all. 

 

 

I did ask why? She said they needed to dry out before putting them away.

 

The study went fine, she is our Sister now.

The seed landed o. Good soil, huh!

Sweet potatoes are great in a beef stew, especially when you use a beefy, tomato base with a little bit of burgundy.  They add a nice balance to the savory!  Also, sweet potato rolls and breads, made with whole grain flours like wheat and oat, really add a nice dense, moistness while infusing the whole grain flours with just a hint of sweetness!  Good with the stew or a roast beef dinner, a turkey dinner or chicken dinner!

Now that's just down right mean to post that photo and not gave any samples to give! I really hope to try it.

I made this and it's really good, this coming from someone who isn't a fan of sweet potato. But next time i'll be more careful with the chipotle chili, 1 tsp. is enough to burn my nose off and I like hot stuff. I added a sprinkle of baking soda to take some of the fire out and it's fine.  

[Carol E]

Well from the popularity of this forum it looks like it is a HOT potato!

[cmcewen]

Thanks for the thread! I was wondering what to eat tonight and decided on baking some kamote (said kah moe tay). It is an asian sweet potato. That and a little chicken was just enough.

Holly, can I have this recipe? I'm not a fan of the sweet potato, I like yams only a bit better, but SP are so good for you I'll try anything with them in it. 

 

Oh hey Leslie, maybe the sweet roll- raspberry/cream cheese- could be made with the dough, it'll be healthy!

[Holly]

which recipe? 

[bagwell1987]

sweet potato in rolls or bread.

[Holly]

11/2 C white sugar (or you can use 1C white, 1/2 C brown) (you can also use only 1C of sugar for a less sweet bread)

1/2 C vegetable oil (batter is wet, can substitute apple sauce, but add about 10 minutes baking time)

2 eggs

13/4 C sifted white flour (or you could do 1/2 of it wheat)

1ts baking soda

1/4 ts salt

1/2 ts cinnamon

1/2 ts nutmeg (optional)

1/3 C water

1C cooked/mashed sweet potatoes (or yams) (can used canned, I prefer fresh and I bake them over boiling them)

1/2 C chopped pecans (optional)

 

combine sugar and oil, beat well, add eggs and beat well (use larger of 2 bowls)

combine flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg in separate bowl

add flour mixture to egg mixture, alternating with the water

stir in sweet potatoes and nuts just until combined... do not over-mix (this is a wetter-type batter/dough)

pour into 9 x 5 loaf pan (can also make them into muffins, adjust bake time)

bake in 350* oven for about 1 hour

[bagwell1987]

Thank-you, I'll make this soon.

[chaser48]

I prefer sweet potatoes to regular potatoes. Especially when I have cinnamon from Penzeys spices. I'll have to try some of the recipes in this thread.
