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.

Steps:
- Put scallions in food processor and pulse until finely chopped; remove. Add garlic, ginger and chili to the processor and pulse until minced; remove. Fit the processor with grating blade and grate sweet potatoes.
- Put oil in a large nonstick or well-seasoned cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. When hot, add garlic-ginger-chili mixture and fry for 30 seconds. Add half the scallions and all the potatoes and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring or tossing, until the potatoes are lightly browned, about 10 minutes; the potatoes need not be fully tender.
- Add soy sauce, toss once, and transfer potatoes to serving platter. Garnish with remaining scallions and serve immediately with additional soy sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Combine sauce ingredients and set aside.
- Heat oil in a wok or large skillet that has a cover. Add orange zest, garlic, ginger, and chili paste and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Add sweet potatoes and stir-fry until coated, about 30 seconds.
- Re-stir sauce and add to sweet potatoes. Bring to a boil, then cook, covered, over moderate heat until sweet potatoes are tender but not soft, 10 - 12 minutes.
- Dissolve cornstarch in water and add to sweet potatoes, stirring until thickened. Stir in scallions.
Tips
- Pick the right sweet potatoes: Choose firm and brightly colored sweet potatoes. Avoid those with blemishes or bruises.
- Cut the sweet potatoes evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Cut them into 1-inch cubes or wedges.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When stir-frying, it's important to give the vegetables enough space to cook. Otherwise, they'll steam instead of fry.
- Use a high-heat oil: A high-heat oil, such as grapeseed or avocado oil, will help prevent the sweet potatoes from sticking to the pan.
- Stir-fry in batches: If you have a lot of sweet potatoes, cook them in batches. This will ensure that they all cook evenly.
- Add the sauce at the end: Adding the sauce at the end of the cooking process will help prevent it from burning.
- Serve immediately: Sweet potato stir-fry is best served hot and fresh. It's a great side dish or main course.
