STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES
In a 2010 love letter to the food processor, Mark Bittman gave the machine the ultimate compliment: "I upgraded its position in my kitchen from a cabinet to a spot on my itsy-bitsy counter," he wrote. Here, he uses the machine to chop and grate vegetables, cutting down on prep time (and any possibility of shredding your knuckles on a box grater). The end result is a quick side dish, full of flavor from the ginger and soy sauce.

SPICY FRIED POTATOES
This recipe is a favorite in the house. Surprising considering the amount of spice in it. Overall if you like "Very Spicy" potatoes then you will love this. If you decide to tackle this job, make sure that you are not going to splatter, or if you do that you are wearing an apron. **The turmeric stains everything it touches. Keep that in mind. Even when serving.**

Tips:
- Choose the right sweet potatoes: Select firm, unblemished sweet potatoes that are similar in size for even cooking.
- Cut consistently: Cut the sweet potatoes into uniform-sized pieces to ensure they cook evenly.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: Stir-frying in batches prevents steaming and promotes even browning.
- Use a well-seasoned wok or skillet: A well-seasoned pan helps prevent sticking and imparts a nice smoky flavor.
- Don't overcook the sweet potatoes: Cook them just until tender-crisp to maintain their vibrant color and texture.
- Adjust the heat according to your preference: If you like a milder dish, reduce the amount of chili peppers or Sriracha sauce.
- Garnish before serving: Add a sprinkle of chopped cilantro, green onions, or sesame seeds for a pop of color and flavor.
