Sweet And White Potatoes With Cilantro Cream Recipes

SPICED SWEET POTATO FRIES WITH CHILI-CILANTRO CREAM

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Toss the sweet potatoes and olive oil in a large bowl.
• Combine the salt, cumin, chili powder, paprika, pepper and cayenne in a small bowl. Add to the potatoes and toss to coat.
• Arrange the potatoes in one layer on a large baking sheet. Bake on the lowest rack of the oven until the undersides are browned, 12 to 15 minutes. Turn the potatoes with a spatula and bake for 10 more minutes.
• While the potatoes are cooking, make the sour cream sauce. Combine all the ingredients except the cilantro in a medium bowl and whisk together. Stir in the cilantro.
• Remove the potatoes from the oven and cool for a few minutes. Serve with the sour cream.

GRILLED SWEET POTATOES WITH BBQ BAKED BEANS AND CILANTRO CREAM

Steps:

• Preheat the grill to medium heat.
• Wrap the sweet potatoes in Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil individually so they are completely covered. Place them onto the grill, cover and cook for 45 minutes to 1 hour. You want the potatoes to feel very soft inside the foil. When they are done, remove them from the grill and keep them in the foil until ready to assemble and serve.
• Make the beans while the potatoes are baking. Heat oil in a medium-sized pan over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for 7 to 10 minutes until soft and starting to brown. Add the garlic and cook for another 2 minutes. Then add the beans and BBQ sauce. Stir to combine the ingredients, bring the heat to low and continue cooking for another couple of minutes to heat all of the ingredients.
• Make the cilantro cream. Place the yogurt, shallots, salt and lemon juice into a food processor and pulse several times until smooth. Add in the cilantro leaves and pulse a couple of times just until they are chopped and incorporated.
• Assemble the potatoes. Cut a slit down the center lengthwise of the potato and gently pull the sides apart just enough to create a well for the beans. Then add a couple spoonfuls of the BBQ beans and finish with a drizzle of the cilantro cream. Garnish with some roughly chopped cilantro leaves.

SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 350 degrees.
• In a large bowl, combine 1/4 cup oil, the honey, juice from 1 lime, a large pinch of salt and pepper to taste, and toss with potato wedges. Spread in an even layer on a rimmed baking sheet, bake until tender and lightly browned in spots, 45 to 55 minutes. Sprinkle with additional salt to taste.
• Meanwhile, in a food processor, pulse to combine 1/3 cup oil, the cilantro, chiles, garlic, almonds, juice from remaining lime, vinegar and a large pinch of salt, until it forms a chunky purée. Taste and add more salt if needed.
• Spoon the sauce over the potatoes, dollop with some yogurt, drizzle with oil, and serve with any remaining yogurt on the side.

LIME CILANTRO SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Put oven rack in lower third of oven and preheat oven to 425°F.
• Toss sweet potatoes with 2 tablespoons oil and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a shallow baking pan. Arrange potatoes in 1 layer and roast, stirring halfway through roasting, until tender, about 25 minutes total. Stir together cayenne, zest, and remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Whisk together lime juice and remaining tablespoon oil in a medium bowl, then add potatoes. Sprinkle with cayenne mixture and cilantro, stirring gently to combine.

MASHED JALAPENO-CILANTRO SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Bake the sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Once tender, peel, and place into a mixing bowl. While the potatoes are baking, place the jalapeno pepper in the oven, and bake until the skin loosens, about 20 minutes. Peel, mince, and place into the bowl with the potatoes. Add the softened butter, orange juice, and cilantro; mix with an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Season to taste with salt and pepper, then transfer to a 1 quart baking dish. Drizzle with the melted butter and sprinkle with the walnut pieces.
• Bake in the preheated oven until hot in the center, about 20 minutes.

CARDAMOM-SCENTED SWEET POTATO ROUNDS WITH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 450 degrees with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a small skillet over medium-high, toast coriander seeds until dark brown and fragrant, about 3 minutes. Grind in a spice grinder, or crush with a mortar and pestle.
• In a small saucepan, bring butter, coriander, cardamom seeds and pods, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper to a boil. Toss with potatoes on a rimmed baking sheet to evenly coat. Transfer half of potatoes to a second rimmed baking sheet; spread in a single layer on both sheets.
• Roast, flipping potatoes and rotating sheets once halfway through, until potatoes are easily pierced with the tip of a knife and golden brown in places, 30 to 35 minutes. Serve, sprinkled with cilantro.
