Sweet Potatoes are vegetables that you have to add to your life..Yes i said it..your life... Not only is it healthier than normal Irish Potatoes, they are simply delicious, no matter how you make them.
I will show you 5 exciting ways to Transform your sweet potatoes from boring, to meals everyone in the Family can enjoy.
I discovered my love for sweet potatoes when i had it baked with turkey roast and vegetables, i just could not get enough.
As a matter of fact they are extremely filling and can compliment almost any meal. It might also help to know that Research states that "Sweet potatoes are high in vitamin A, vitamin B5, B6, thiamine, niacin, riboflavin, Plus, they're fat-free, relatively low in sodium and have a lot less calories than any other potatoes.
However they are not called sweet potatoes for no reason.... they do have more sugar than other potatoes..
Okay lets Get cooking.
AYSUGGESTS you can have my sweet potato bake
With my scrambled egg (see previous posts)
With Aysalsa
With Meatballs
With chunky meat Gravy
As a snack with a nice cup of tea
INGREDIENTS
Sweet potato root tubers (5 or 6 depending on the size)
3 cups of water
Black Pepper( half a tea spoon)
Pinch of salt
Grated mozzarella cheese (about 1/2oz)
2 tablespoons of Butter (you can do without)
Half a cup of milk
3 drops of olive oil.
PROCESS
Peel the skin off and cut the Potatoes into thumb size chunks. Pour water into a clean pan, add potatoes, salt and black pepper and leave the potatoes to boil for 20 minutes (this should make the potatoes really soft and ready for mashing).
Once you are satisfied with how soft the potatoes, get rid off any left over water in the pan by using a sieve. Add the butter and milk to the potatoes and mash the mixture for about 3 minutes. You want to make sure you have chunks of sweet potatoes left, so do not mash it to a pureed form.
Pre-heat your oven/grill to 180 degrees. Grease your baking tin with 3 drops of olive oil or one squirt of oil spray. Layer your all your semi mashed sweet potato into the baking tin using a flat spatula. Press down the sweet potato with the back of the spatula and add your grated cheese to the top of the potato. Put about 3 layers of cheese or as much as you are comfortable with.
Place the pan in your pre-heated oven and allow it to grill/ bake for about 15 minutes. Bring out when the cheese looks nice and brown like mine below ,and serve with any of my AYSUGGEST'S. Thank me later.
