SALT-RUBBED SWEET POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Salt-Rubbed Sweet Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

If you've ever thought the somewhat-dull sweet potato could use some punch, try covering it in a layer of salt before you bake it: The salt flavors and tenderizes the skin, leaving a crisp exterior that begs for the cooling tang of sour cream. Leave the potatoes a little damp after you've scrubbed them clean so that you'll have an easier time getting the salt to stick.

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium sweet potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each), scrubbed and left damp
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup minced chives
Black pepper

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a fork to poke holes all over the flesh of the damp potatoes, then rub each one all over with 1/2 tablespoon salt.
  • Bake for about 1 hour, until tender, then allow to cool slightly before brushing off excess salt and slicing each one lengthwise. Open up the sweet potato, use a fork to rough up its flesh, then dollop each with 1 tablespoon sour cream and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chives. Garnish with black pepper.

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.

Categories     vegetables, side dish

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.

EASY CREAMY MASHED SWEET POTATOES



Easy Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes image

These easy mashed sweet potatoes are on the savory side, but you can add a few extra ingredients for a sweeter version. See our tips in the notes section below for our suggestions. You can simmer, bake, microwave, or use a pressure cooker to cook the sweet potatoes. Our preferred method is to simmer the potatoes since this takes a similar amount of time when using a pressure cooker and when microwaving them and less time than when using an oven. We have included the steps for cooking sweet potatoes in the oven, microwave, and pressure cooker in the article above.

Categories     Side Dish

Time 30m

Yield Makes 6 servings (about 5 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean (5 to 6 small-to-medium)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 bay leaf, optional or a substitute fresh thyme or rosemary sprig
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon or more to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream, heavy cream, milk or half-and-half, optional
Fine herbs and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large pot and add enough water so that they are covered by about one inch of water. Add the salt and bay leaf.
  • Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, and then return the potatoes to the pot. Or if you plan to use a food processor, add them directly to the processor bowl. (A food processor makes extra silky mashed sweet potatoes.)
  • Add the butter, cinnamon, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until your desired consistency. If using a food processor, pulse until your desired consistency.
  • For extra creamy sweet potatoes, stir in sour cream or a splash of heavy cream, milk, or half-and-half. Serve with extra butter and chopped fresh herbs (optional) on top.

Tips for Perfect Sweet Potatoes with Banana and Sour Cream:

- Choose the right potatoes: Sweet potatoes with smooth, firm skin and deep orange flesh are ideal for this recipe. Avoid potatoes with blemishes, bruises, or cuts. - Bake evenly: For evenly cooked potatoes, ensure your oven is preheated to the correct temperature before baking. Place the potatoes on a single layer in a baking dish to allow proper air circulation and even cooking. - Check for doneness: Insert a fork or toothpick into the center of a potato. If it slides in and out easily, the potatoes are done. Overcooking can make them dry and mushy. - Enhance flavors: To add extra depth of flavor, consider adding spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, or ginger to the sweet potatoes. You can also brush them with melted butter or honey before baking for a caramelized crust. - Balance the flavors: Sour cream provides a tangy contrast to the sweetness of the potatoes and bananas. For a richer flavor, use full-fat sour cream. If you prefer a lighter version, opt for Greek yogurt or low-fat sour cream.

Conclusion:

Sweet potatoes with banana and sour cream is a delightful dish that combines the natural sweetness of sweet potatoes with the creamy tanginess of sour cream and the subtle fruitiness of bananas. It's a versatile side dish that pairs well with a variety of main courses, making it a popular choice for both casual and special occasion meals.
