SWEET POTATOES WITH YOGURT AND CILANTRO-CHILE SAUCE



Sweet Potatoes With Yogurt and Cilantro-Chile Sauce image

In this luscious vegetable dish, velvety sweet potatoes get a spicy jolt from a chile-spiked cilantro sauce spooned on top. Greek yogurt adds a creamy element and a bit of protein if you're serving these as a vegetarian main course. As a side dish, they are satisfying yet not the least bit heavy, thanks to the bright flavors of the sauce. You can make the sauce up to 4 hours ahead. Any longer than that and it starts to lose its fresh, tart taste. It's also very good on roasted carrots.

Provided by Elaine Louie

Categories     dinner

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

4 russet or Idaho potatoes, peeled
4 cups vegetable oil for deep-frying
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
3 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon minced cilantro
2 tablespoons Aleppo pepper (or substitute 1 3/4 tablespoons paprika plus 1 teaspoon cayenne)
Salt
2 tablespoons minced flat-leaf parsley
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

Steps:

  • Cut the potatoes into half-inch cubes. Rinse under cold water until water runs clear. Drain and dry thoroughly on paper towels.
  • Pour oil into a deep fryer, or a large, deep, frying pan, to 2 inches depth. Heat the oil to 300 degrees. Set aside a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Working in batches, if necessary, fry the potatoes until tender inside, about 5 minutes. Transfer potatoes from the oil to the baking sheet. Turn off the fryer, or if using a pan, remove from stove, but do not discard the oil.
  • Allow potatoes to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate uncovered for two hours. Meanwhile, prepare the sauce.
  • Heat the oil in a wide saucepan over medium-low heat. Stir in garlic, cover, and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and pale gold, about 3 minutes; do not allow to brown. Add cilantro and stir until wilted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from heat, transfer to a large mixing bowl, and set aside.
  • Remove potatoes from refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature. Meanwhile, heat the deep-fryer or frying pan to 350 to 375 degrees. Set aside a baking sheet lined with paper towels. Pat potatoes with paper towels to be sure they are completely dry. Working in batches, if necessary, fry the potatoes until crisp and golden, 3 minutes or as needed. Transfer potatoes from the oil to the baking sheet.
  • When all the potatoes are cooked, add to the bowl of sauce, and sprinkle with Aleppo pepper and salt to taste. Toss gently. Transfer mixture to a serving bowl, and garnish with minced parsley. Drizzle with lemon juice. If desired, serve with sliced tomatoes and scallions, or with fried, scrambled or poached eggs.

Veggie lovers delight in these sweet potatoes from Jodi Moreno of What's Cooking Good Looking. Baked using Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil, stuffed with simmering BBQ black beans and finished with a crisp yogurt-based cilantro cream, you won't be able to resist this flavorful dish.

Provided by Reynolds Kitchens(R)

Categories     Trusted Brands: Recipes and Tips     Reynolds®

Time 1h10m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 large sweet potatoes
2 tablespoons sunflower seed oil
1 red onion, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can black beans, drained
1 cup barbeque sauce
6 ounces plain yogurt
2 tablespoons minced shallots
¼ teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
½ cup cilantro leaves, plus more for garnish
Reynolds Wrap® Aluminum Foil

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.

  • Season both sides of fish with salt and pepper and set aside.
  • Heat 3 tablespoons oil in a saute pan and saute the garlic and ginger until fragrant; then add cilantro and green onion and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Carefully moisten 1 piece of rice paper in warm water for about 30 seconds, and then spread out on a cutting board and lightly pat dry. Place cod in the middle of paper and spread 1 tablespoon of the green onion mixture on top of the cod. Fold ends of rice paper around cod. Repeat with all 4 pieces and set cod bundles aside in refrigerator.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • When ready to serve, heat 3 tablespoons oil in a large ovenproof skillet. Add cod parcels and sear on both sides. Place skillet in oven for about 8 minutes, or until cod is fully cooked through.
  • Divide mashed potatoes onto 4 plates, top with cod parcels, and spoon sauce onto plate. Garnish with cilantro and lemon wedge, if desired.
  • Gently boil potatoes in a large pot of salted water until tender, about 20 to 25 minutes. Drain and place potatoes in a large bowl. Add butter and cream and mash with a potato masher. Fold in the cilantro. Serve immediately or keep warm until ready to serve.
  • Saute the mushrooms in 2 to 3 tablespoons of butter in a medium skillet over high heat for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic and ginger and saute until aromatic, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with white wine and rice wine vinegar and cook until reduced by half. Add the remaining butter, 1 tablespoon at a time, and stir to incorporate. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Tips for Perfect Cilantro Potatoes

  • Choose the Right Potatoes: Select firm, small to medium-sized potatoes like Yukon Gold or Red Potatoes for a creamy texture and thin skin.
  • Boil Them Right: Parboil the potatoes until tender but still slightly firm. This ensures they hold their shape while roasting.
  • Roast at High Heat: Roast the potatoes at a high temperature (425°F/220°C) to achieve crispy edges and a fluffy interior.
  • Use Fresh Cilantro: Finely chop fresh cilantro for the best flavor. Avoid using dried cilantro as it lacks the same intensity.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: Spread the potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet to ensure even cooking and crispy edges.
  • Season Generously: Don't be shy with the seasonings! Garlic powder, paprika, cumin, and chili powder add a flavor boost.
  • Garnish Before Serving: Sprinkle chopped cilantro and a squeeze of lime juice over the roasted potatoes just before serving for a burst of freshness.
