SWEET POTATOES WITH MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Cut potatoes into 1-inch-thick slices. Reassemble slices so they look like intact potatoes. Insert a sprig of thyme between each of the slices. Wrap each potato in 2 layers of foil and place on a pie tin, roasting pan or directly on oven rack (seam side up).
• Bake potatoes until very tender, 60 to 75 minutes. Meanwhile, combine sour cream, mustard, thyme and garlic in a small bowl. Serve potatoes dolloped with mustard sauce.

MUSTARDS' YAMS

Steps:

• Cover yams with salted water and boil until tender, so that a fork will penetrate easily. Run them under cold water immediately.
• Cut yams in half-inch slices lengthwise.
• Mix together oil, tamari, ginger and scallion and pour over potatoes.
• Mix together the ingredients for the vinaigrette and reserve.
• Put yams on the grill for a minute, then turn them 90 degrees and cook for another minute to burn a cross-hatch pattern into them. Turn over and repeat process.
• Remove to a platter and drizzle vinaigrette over all.

SWEET POTATOES AND GREENS WITH HONEY-MUSTARD GLAZE

Steps:

• Steam potatoes until just tender, about 10 minutes. Cool. (Can be made 3 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.)
• Blend mustard and honey in small bowl. Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Add shallots and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chard; toss until barely wilted, about 2 minutes. Add potatoes and mustard mixture; toss until heated, about 2 minutes. Season with nutmeg, salt and pepper.

BASIC MUSTARD MASH

Steps:

• Tip the potatoes into a large saucepan, cover with boiling water and boil for 20 mins or until soft. Drain the potatoes in a colander and leave to steam-dry for a few moments before putting them back in the pan. Add the butter, milk and mustard, season well, then mash thoroughly until creamy. Cover to keep warm until serving.
