SWEET POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND PECANS



Sweet Potatoes With Sour Cream and Pecans image

Soft at the center, caramelized at the edges and warmly spiced from the garam masala, these roasted sweet potatoes get a tangy bite from lime-spiked sour cream, while toasted pecans add crunch. You can make the lime sour cream up to four hours ahead. Simply pull it out of the fridge 30 minutes before serving, and let it come to room temperature before drizzling it over the potatoes.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons coconut oil or olive oil
2 pounds sweet potatoes (4 to 5 medium potatoes), scrubbed but not peeled
1 teaspoon garam masala (or curry powder)
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more as needed
Large pinch of black pepper
1/2 cup sour cream
1 teaspoon fresh lime juice, plus more for serving
1 to 3 tablespoons whole milk, for thinning the sauce
1 tablespoon lime zest
1/3 cup toasted pecans, roughly chopped (see Note)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees. If your coconut oil is solid, place it in a small saucepan over low heat. Let it melt, stirring with a wooden spoon. (No need to heat liquid coconut oil or olive oil.)
  • Cut each sweet potato in half lengthwise, then slice each half lengthwise into 3 or 4 wedges, about 3/4-inch thick.
  • Put the sweet potato wedges in a large bowl and add the coconut oil, garam masala, 3/4 teaspoon salt and the pinch of pepper, tossing everything so the potatoes are well coated.
  • Spread the potatoes in an even layer on a large baking sheet. (Lining the pan with parchment paper will make clean up easier, but it's not necessary.) Roast, using tongs to carefully turn the potatoes after 30 minutes, until soft and caramelized, about 1 hour.
  • While the sweet potatoes are roasting, make the lime sour cream: In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, lime juice and a pinch of salt. Whisk in enough milk (by the teaspoon) to make a pourable sauce. It should be a bit thicker than heavy cream. Taste and add more salt and lime juice as needed. Set aside.
  • Once the sweet potatoes are done but still hot on the baking sheet, sprinkle lime zest all over them. (Adding the zest to the hot potatoes brings out the lime flavor.)
  • Using tongs or a large serving spoon, arrange sweet potatoes on serving platter. Drizzle the sour cream mixture all over the potatoes, and sprinkle toasted pecans on top. Squeeze more lime juice on top if you like. Serve hot or warm.

MOM'S CANDIED YAMS WITH CARAMEL



Mom's Candied Yams with Caramel image

I took my mom's childhood candied yam recipe and added a layer of caramel. It is now a must at every Thanksgiving and Christmas and is often requested with much anticipation by anyone who has had it. One recipe will serve 6, but barely. I promise there won't be leftovers. If you're going to feed 6 or more, I suggest doubling the recipe in a 9x13-inch pan.

Yield Makes 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup brown raisins
1/2 cup golden raisins
1/4 cup brandy
5 pounds garnet yams or other yams (red-skinned sweet potatoes), peeled, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups walnut pieces, toasted

Steps:

  • Combine brown raisins, golden raisins, and brandy in small bowl; toss to blend. Let soak at least 30 minutes and up to 1 hour.
  • Cook yams in large pot of boiling salted water until just barely tender, about 8 minutes. Using large slotted spoon, transfer yams to baking sheet to cool.
  • Meanwhile, bring 3/4 cup maple syrup, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1/4 cup unsalted butter to boil in heavy medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring until brown sugar dissolves. Boil 2 minutes.
  • Butter 15x10x2-inch glass baking dish. Drain raisins (reserve brandy for another use). Place raisins in very large bowl. Add cooked yams, then maple syrup mixture and toasted walnut pieces. Toss gently to coat evenly, being careful to keep yams intact. Transfer yam mixture to prepared baking dish. DO AHEAD: Can be made 2 hours ahead. Let stand at room temperature.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F. Bake yams uncovered until syrup is thick and bubbling, basting occasionally, about 55 minutes. Let stand 10 minutes and serve.

Tips:

  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven to evenly caramelize the yams.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan, or the yams will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Cook the yams until they are tender but still hold their shape.
  • Be careful not to burn the sugar when making the caramel sauce.
  • Add the garam masala and butter at the end of cooking to preserve their flavor.
  • Serve the yams immediately, while they are still warm and caramelized.

Conclusion:

Caramelized garnet yams with garam masala is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The yams are caramelized until they are tender and slightly crispy, and the garam masala adds a warm and flavorful spice. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
