Tipsy Sweet Taters Recipes

SOUL SWEET 'TATERS

Steps:

• Wash 4 medium sweet potatoes and bake them in a 375-degree oven until fork tender, about 30-35 minutes. When they are finished cooking slice them open and scrape out the flesh into a large bowl.
• Add 1 cup of (regular granulated) sugar, 1 cup of milk, 2 eggs, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract and 1 teaspoon of salt. With a potato masher, mash them up just enough-you don't want to be perfectly smooth.
• Now, in a separate bowl, add 1 cup brown sugar, 1 cup pecans, chopped (that means measure a cup of pecans, then chop them), ½ cup flour, and ¾ stick of butter. With a pastry cutter or fork, mash together until thoroughly combined.
• Spread the sweet potato mixture into a regular baking dish and sprinkle the crumb mixture all over the top.
• Bake in a 400-degree oven for 30 minutes, or until golden brown.

HOW TO ROAST SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 C). Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and transfer to a baking sheet. Drizzle with a little oil (if avoiding oil, omit) and massage to coat. Place cut side down on the baking sheet.
• Bake for 25-35 minutes, or until caramelized on the edges and when you press on the top of the potatoes they have a little give.
• Enjoy as is, or top with desired toppings. For sweet, go for nut butter, banana, and granola. For savory, go with black beans, avocado, salsa, and cilantro.
• Best when fresh. Store leftovers covered in the refrigerator up to 3 days. Reheat on the stovetop in a cast iron skillet until hot.

SWEET PO-TATER TOTS

Steps:

• Bring a medium pot of water to a boil and add the sweet potatoes. Cook for 5 minutes, drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Dry off any excess water with a kitchen towel.
• Put the onions and cooled sweet potatoes in the work bowl of a food processor fitted with the metal chopping blade. Pulse until the sweet potatoes are almost pureed but still a bit grainy. You should have some very small bits of potato visible. Transfer the mixture to a large bowl and stir in the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to combine.
• Using your hands, shape the potato mixture into 1- to 1 1/2-inch-long cylinders, packing them very tightly.
• Heat about 2 inches of oil in a deep heavy skillet over medium-high heat until a deep-frying thermometer inserted in the oil registers 350 degrees F. Line a large plate or baking sheet with paper towels.
• Working in batches, add the tater tots to the shimmering hot oil and cook until golden brown, 3 to 5 minutes, turning with tongs or a slotted spoon to ensure even browning and being careful not to overcrowd the pan. With a slotted spoon or skimmer, remove the browned tots to the towel-lined plate to drain. Serve warm.
