Delicious Sweet Potato Pie Recipe








Sweet potatoes were another staple I


grew up with. They were fairly inexpensive


and were great baked or put in a pie. Baked


potateos were just eaten with a little butter.





To make a potato pie, you need:





4 large potatoes


2 cups sugar


1 stick butter


1 pinch cinnamon


1 pinch nutmeg


1 store-bought pie crust


or your can just line a pan with vanilla wafers


instead


1/2 cup milk








Boil the potatoes until tender. When you stick a


fork in them it should go in easy but you don't


want them to fall apart.





Let the potatoes cool and then peel them.





Put the potatoes in a large mixing bowl and


mash them thoroughly with a potatoe masher.


Melt the butter and pour it and the other


ingredients in the bowl of potatoes. Stir


until well mixed.





Whether you used a ready made pie crust or


just cookies, pour the potatoes mixture


into the crust.





Put into an oven preheated to 375 degrees.


Cook for about 35-40 minutes or until a toothpick


inserted in the center comes out dry.





I like to eat the pie while still hot. It's


good cold too though.





If you want you can make a meringue topping by


blending confectionary sugar with egg whites.


After the pie is almost done, spread the


meringue thinly across the top. Continue baking


until the meringue turns light brown. If you


use the meiangue, you can add the egg yokes


to the pie if you like.
two of them





used in a curry to thicken and make it creamy





roasted with spuds
The Canned kind, with the sweet sugary stuff for Thanksgiving.





Really don't like them, but that's as close as I get.





Oh topped with marshmallows.

* fine dry bread crumbs, plain


* 1 egg, slightly beaten


* 1 tablespoon water


* oil for deep frying





PREPARATION:


Combine mashed sweet potatoes, butter, salt, pepper, and brown sugar; beat until smooth and well blended. Chill thoroughly. Shape chilled mixture into croquettes. Mix slightly beaten egg with water. Dip sweet potato croquettes into crumbs, then into beaten egg mixture, then in crumbs again.


Fry in hot deep fat, about 370掳, until sweet potato croquettes are golden brown. Drain well.
Sweet Potato Croquettes!


Make sweet mashed, add Parmesan cheese and egg to the recipe. This will make them a bit thicker. Scoop into balls. Freeze for a while. When hard take them out and bread them. Flour, egg wash and bread crumbs. I find that Panko crumbs work best! (Japanese bread crumbs) Deep fry them or pan fry. They are crispy on the outside, warm and soft on the inside!! SOOOOOO GOOOD!! ENJOY!
Cinnamon Sweet Potato Chips


INGREDIENTS


2 sweet potatoes, peeled and thinly sliced


1 tablespoon melted butter


1/2 teaspoon salt


2 teaspoons brown sugar


1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon





DIRECTIONS


Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Grease two baking sheets.


Arrange sweet potato slices in a single layer onto baking sheets. Stir together butter, salt, brown sugar, and cinnamon in a small bowl; brush onto sweet potato slices.


Bake in preheated oven until edges curl upwards, about 20 to 25 minutes
I like to stick it in the oven and slice it open and put on a little brown sugar.
GRILLED SWEET POTATO AND MANGO SALAD





The following is an excerpt from the book Grill! by Pippa Cuthbert %26amp; Lindsay Cameron Wilson.





A sweet, succulent and refreshing salad.








1 sweet potato, peeled


1 large mango, skin removed








For the dressing:





3 Tbsp olive oil


4 Tbsp fresh mint, chopped


Juice of 1 lime


1 tsp grated lime rind


1 Tbsp rice wine vinegar


陆 tsp extra-fine sugar


Sea salt and pepper, to taste


-


1 head Bibb or Boston (round) lettuce


陆 cup (10g) fresh mint





Preheat the grill or grill pan to medium.


Chop both the sweet potato and mango flesh into long wedges, about 戮-in (2cm) wide, 陆-in (1 cm) thick. Place in separate dishes.





Combine the dressing ingredients in a small bowl and pour half over the mango and potato.





With tongs in hand, arrange sweet potato wedges directly over the grill and leave for 6-8 minutes, until grill marks appear and the bottom sides begin to soften. Turn and grill the other side for a further 6 minutes. While the other sides are cooking, arrange the mango wedges directly on the grill. Grill for about 2-3 minutes on each side. Transfer all the wedges to a cutting board and cut into cubes. Place them in a bowl and toss with the remaining dressing.





Arrange lettuce leaves on salad plates. Scatter the sweet potato and mango over the lettuce and add a sprinkling of sea salt and finely sliced mint.





Serves 4-6.
