SWEET POTATO AND CARROT LATKES WITH SPICED APPLE-CRANBERRY RELISH



Sweet Potato and Carrot Latkes with Spiced Apple-Cranberry Relish image

While the flavor profile of these latkes is a complete departure from a classic potato latke recipe, they fry up just as crispy and lacey as ever. The spiced relish starts with a base of caramelized onions for depth and dimension. We found that the addition of one russet potato in the batter lends just enough potato starch to keep the latkes creamy on the inside without detracting from the sweet flavor of the carrots and sweet potatoes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 2h45m

Yield about 2 dozen latkes

Number Of Ingredients 21

3 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large yellow onion, finely chopped
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme leaves (from 3 to 4 sprigs)
3 tablespoons light brown sugar
4 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 cup dried cranberries, chopped
2 large sweet potatoes
1 russet potato
3 large carrots
1 large yellow onion
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
2 large eggs, beaten
Kosher salt
Vegetable oil, for frying
1 cup sour cream

Steps:

  • For the spiced apple-cranberry relish: Melt the butter over medium-high in a medium pot. Add the onion, stir to coat and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons kosher salt. Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are translucent and just beginning to brown around the edges of the pot, about 20 minutes.
  • Add the vinegar, thyme and 1 tablespoon brown sugar and continue to cook, stirring frequently, until the onions are golden brown and very soft, about 20 minutes. Add the apples, cinnamon, ginger, allspice and remaining 2 tablespoons brown sugar and cook, stirring frequently, lower the heat if necessary, until the apples are tender, about 15 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the cranberries. Keep warm while preparing the latkes.
  • For the latkes: Peel the sweet and Russet potatoes and shred them in a food process fitted with the shredding blade. Transfer the potatoes to a large mixing bowl as the food processor bowl fills up. Repeat with the carrots and onion. Toss the vegetables together with your hands, breaking up and evenly dispersing all the shredded vegetables throughout. Mix in the flour, baking powder and egg and sprinkle generously with salt.
  • Line a baking sheet with paper towels. Fill a large skillet with 1/2 inch of oil. Heat over medium-high heat until the oil is very hot but not smoking. To test if the oil is hot enough, drop a teaspoon of the vegetable mixture in the oil; if it sizzles steadily, the oil is ready.
  • Working in batches, scoop the vegetable mixture by 1/4 cupfuls add and them carefully to the skillet, flattening each latke slightly with a spatula. Fry until golden brown and cooked through, about 2 minutes per side. Drain on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Serve hot or keep warm in 200-degree F oven. Serve with the spiced apple-cranberry relish and sour cream.

ASIAN-MARINATED PORK LOIN WITH GINGERED SWEET POTATOES AND FIVE-SPICE APPLES



Asian-Marinated Pork Loin with Gingered Sweet Potatoes and Five-Spice Apples image

Every element in this dish complements the others. The pork, brined to ensure moistness, is ideally set off by the spicy, slightly sweet potatoes, whose warm flavors are echoed by the lightly caramelized apples. This is pork, sweet potatoes and applesauce - that favorite American triumvirate - from an East-West point of view.

Provided by Ming Tsai

Categories     main-dish

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 33

4 cups water
1/3 cup kosher salt
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted Szechwan peppercorns
1 tablespoon toasted black peppercorns, plus freshly ground black pepper
4 1/4-inch-thick slices fresh ginger
2 star anise
2 bay leaves
1 4-pound pork loin
2 tablespoons canola oil
Gingered Sweet Potatoes (recipe follows)
Five-Spice Apples (recipe follows)
1/4 cup chives cut into 1-inch lengths, for garnish
2 tablespoons Chile Oil, for garnish (recipe follows)
6 tablespoons butter
6 garlic cloves, peeled
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 cups heavy cream
4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and roughly chopped
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 small red onion, cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 1/2 teaspoons five-spice powder
1 tablespoon brown sugar, packed
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and cut into 1/4-inch dice
1 cup apple juice
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chile powder, such as ancho, chimayo, or pasilla
1/2 tablespoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
3 cups canola oil

Steps:

  • One day in advance, combine the water, salt, sugar, soy sauce, peppercorns, ginger, anise, and bay leaves in a deep baking dish large enough to hold the pork and stir to mix. Add the pork; if it is not covered, add more water. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Rinse the pork thoroughly with cold water, pat dry, and season with the ground pepper to taste. Heat a large skillet over high heat, add the oil, and swirl to caot the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the pork and brown on all sides. Transfer the pork to a roasting pan and roast just until the pork is hot through to the center (about 125 degrees F internal temperature), 25 to 30 minutes. The interior of the pork will remain pink.
  • Allow the pork to rest for 10 minutes and cut into 1/4-inch slices. Divide the gingered sweet potatoes among 4 plates, surround with the pork, and add the five-spice apples. Garnish with the chives, drizzle with the chile oil, and serve.
  • Heat a small saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 tablespoon of the butter and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic and ginger and saute, stirring occasionally, until the garlic is brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add the cream and reduce by one-third over low heat, about 10 minutes. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile, combine the sweet potatoes in a large saucepan with enough water to cover them completely. Bring to a boil over high heat and cook until they can be pierced easily with the tip of a knife, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain and trasnfer to a food processor. Add the cream and process until well blended. Add the remaining butter, season with salt and pepper, and puree until smooth. Transfer the potatoes to a bowl, correct the seasonings, and serve.
  • For the Five-Spice Apples: Heat a medium skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom of the pan. When the oil shimmers, add the onion and saute, stirring, until brown, about 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Add the five-spice powder, brown sugar, apples, and juice. Stir, season with salt and pepper to taste, and cook until the liquid is reduced by half, about 12 minutes. The apples should retain their shape and some liquid should remain in the pan; do not overcook. Stir in the butter and correct the seasonings. Serve warm.
  • For the Chile Oil: In a medium skillet, combine the chile powder, cumin, and salt, and heat over medium heat just until the mixture begins to smoke. Whisk in the oil and remove from the stove.
  • Allow the chile oil to cool, transfer it to a glass jar, and let stand overnight. Cover and use or store. The oil will separate from the solids; use the red oil only.

SPICED APPLE CIDER SOUP WITH SWEET POTATO DUMPLINGS, QUINCE, AND DATES



Spiced Apple Cider Soup with Sweet Potato Dumplings, Quince, and Dates image

Sitting in a spice cider soup, potato dumplings take on a fall twist with the use of sweet potatoes instead of russet and the use of quince and dates.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Lunch Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 quarts apple cider
9 McIntosh apples, coarsely chopped
5 Gala apples, coarsely chopped
2 tablespoons peeled and chopped fresh ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons black peppercorns, cracked
1 1/4 tablespoons mace
1 tablespoon whole cloves, cracked
2 cinnamon sticks or 1 tablespoon Saigon cinnamon
5 star anise, cracked
2 medium or 1 large sweet potatoes
2 teaspoons coarse salt, plus more, for roasting
2/3 cup plus 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
1 large egg
3 tablespoons sugar
2 cups sugar
10 star anise, cracked
1 vanilla bean
2 fresh quince, peeled
1 tablespoon grapeseed oil
6 tablespoons pine nuts
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
6 fresh dates, pitted and cut into slivers
1/2 cup heavy cream, whipped into soft peaks

Steps:

  • Prepare the Spiced Apple Cider: In a large pot, combine apple cider, apples, ginger, peppercorns, mace, cloves, cinnamon, and star anise. Bring to a simmer; cook until apples break down, about 2 hours. Allow to cool overnight; pour through a strainer lined with cheesecloth.
  • Prepare the Sweet Potato Puree: Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Wrap sweet potatoes in parchment-lined aluminum foil, and place over a bed of salt on a baking sheet; bake until soft, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Allow to cool.
  • Using a spoon, remove flesh into a bowl, and stir in 2 teaspoons of salt. Pass through a food mill, fitted with a fine disc, into a medium bowl. You'll need 1 cup of puree for the dumplings.
  • Form a well in center of puree. Add flour, egg, and sugar; mix until incorporated. Transfer to a pastry bag fitted with a large round tip; set aside.
  • Prepare the Poached Quince: In a medium saucepan, combine 6 cups water, sugar, star anise, and vanilla bean. Bring to a boil over high heat; reduce to a simmer. Add quince, and cover with a parchment paper round; weight with a small heatproof plate to keep the quince submerged. Poach until tender, testing with a knife, about 30 minutes. Allow to cool.
  • When completely cooled, remove quince, and cut in half lengthwise. Discard poaching liquid. Remove core, and cut into 1/2-inch pieces; set aside.
  • Prepare the Fried Pine Nuts: Heat grapeseed oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat; add pine nuts, and toss continuously until browned. Add sugar and salt, tossing to coat. Drain on a paper towel. Allow to cool.
  • Just before serving, reheat Spiced Apple Cider. Bring a large pot of water to a boil; squeeze 1/2-inch long tubes of sweet potato mixture into water. Poach for 1 minute.
  • Meanwhile, divide quince and dates among six warmed serving bowls. Place a dollop of whipped cream on one side of each bowl. Using a slotted spoon, remove poached dumplings and place over fruit; ladle warm cider into bowl opposite the cream. Serve immediately.

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE LATKES WITH GINGER AND SWEET SPICES



Sweet Potato and Apple Latkes With Ginger and Sweet Spices image

I found that the best way to make these so they cook through without burning is to make small latkes, using about 2 tablespoons of the mixture for each one. You can also finish them in the oven.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield About 40 small latkes, serving 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/2 pound red-fleshed sweet potatoes (yams), peeled and grated - about 5 cups grated
1 cup grated apple, preferably a slightly tart variety such as Braeburn
2 teaspoons fresh lime juice
1 to 2 teaspoons grated fresh ginger (to taste)
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1 teaspoon baking powder
Salt to taste
3 tablespoons oat bran
3 tablespoon matzo meal or all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/4 cup canola, grape seed or rice bran oil

Steps:

  • Begin heating a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Heat the oven to 350 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment and place a rack over another sheet pan.
  • Place the grated sweet potatoes in a large bowl. Toss the grated apple with the lime juice and add to the sweet potatoes, along with the ginger, spices, baking powder, salt, oat bran and matzo meal or flour. Taste and adjust salt. Add the beaten eggs and stir together.
  • Take a 1/4 cup measuring cup and fill with 2 tablespoons of the mixture. Reverse onto the parchment-lined baking sheet. Repeat with the remaining latke mix. You should have enough to make about 40 latkes.
  • Add the oil to the pan and when it is hot (hold your hand a few inches above - you should feel the heat), slide a spatula under one portion of the latke mixture and press down with the spatula to flatten. Repeat with more mounds. In my 10-inch pan I can cook four at a time without crowding; my 12-inch pan will accommodate five or six. Cook on one side until golden brown, about three minutes. Slide the spatula underneath and flip the latkes over. Cook on the other side until golden brown, another two to three minutes. Transfer to the rack set over a baking sheet. Try one latke and if it is still a bit chewy in the middle transfer them to the baking sheet and place in the oven for 10 minutes, until golden brown and soft in the center.
  • Serve hot topped with applesauce and low-fat sour cream, thick Greek yogurt or crème fraîche if desired.

SPICED APPLE SWEET POTATOES



Spiced Apple Sweet Potatoes image

Just about any variety of apple can be used in this recipe. The varieties that work best are those that tend to hold up well during roasting, such as Golden Delicious or Granny Smith (because they retain their color, taste and shape during cooking). But the Honeycrisp apple is a great choice too, because the combination of...

Categories     Vegetables

Time 28m

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 medium sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1/4-inch thick slices (about 5 cups)
3 firm cooking apples - peeled, cored and cut into wedges (good varieties include golden delicious and granny smith, but honeycrisp can be used for a slightly sweeter touch)

3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg

Steps:

SWEET POTATO AND APPLE KUGEL



Sweet Potato and Apple Kugel image

I've looked at a number of sweet potato kugel recipes, and experimented with this one a few times until I was satisfied with it. The trick is to bake the kugel long enough so that the sweet potato softens properly without the top drying out and browning too much. I cover the kugel during the first 45 minutes of baking to prevent this. After you uncover it, it's important to baste the top every 5 to 10 minutes with melted butter.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     dinner, casseroles, side dish

Time 1h30m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 eggs
Salt to taste
2 large sweet potatoes (1 3/4 to 2 pounds total), peeled and grated
2 slightly tart apples, like Gala or Braeburn, peeled, cored and grated
1 tablespoon fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon mild honey or agave nectar
3 to 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter, as needed

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 2-quart baking dish
  • In a large mixing bowl, beat the eggs with salt to taste (I suggest about 1/2 teaspoon). Add the grated sweet potatoes and the apples. Pour the lime juice over the grated apples and sweet potatoes, then stir everything together. Combine the honey and 2 tablespoons of the melted butter and stir together, then toss with the sweet potato mixture and combine well
  • Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish. Cover the dish tightly with foil and place in the oven. Bake 45 minutes. Remove the foil and brush the top of the kugel with melted butter. Return to the oven and bake for another 15 to 20 minutes or longer, brushing every 5 minutes with butter. The kugel is ready when the edges are browned, the top is browned in spots and the mixture is set. Remove from the heat and allow to cool for 10 to 15 minutes before serving

Tips:

  • To ensure your sweet potatoes are cooked evenly, select potatoes that are all roughly the same size.
  • Prick the sweet potatoes with a fork before baking to allow steam to escape and prevent them from bursting.
  • If you prefer softer sweet potatoes, bake them for an additional 10-15 minutes or until they are easily pierced with a fork.
  • Use a variety of spices to create a unique flavor profile. Some popular options include cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and allspice.
  • If you don't have maple syrup, you can substitute another liquid sweetener such as honey, agave nectar, or brown sugar.
  • Chopped nuts, dried fruit, or crumbled bacon can be added to the sweet potatoes for an extra crunch and flavor.

Conclusion:

These Spiced Apple Sweet Potatoes are a delicious and healthy side dish that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. They are simple to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you prefer them sweet, savory, or spicy, these sweet potatoes are sure to be a hit.
