CIDER ROASTED SWEET POTATOES - SOUTH BEACH

• Transfer to a large baking dish and drizzle with cider. Roast until lightly browned and cooked through, about 30 minutes.

SOUTHERN FRIED TOFU WITH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Toss the sweet potatoes with the vegetable oil, 1 teaspoon paprika, 1/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper on a baking sheet. Bake, flipping halfway through, until lightly browned and tender, about 30 minutes.
• Whisk the buttermilk and hot sauce in a shallow dish. Add the tofu, turning to coat; marinate 10 minutes. Whisk the ketchup, brown sugar and vinegar in a bowl; set aside. Whisk the flour, the remaining 1 tablespoon paprika and 1/2 teaspoon each salt and pepper in a large bowl; stir in 1 tablespoon of the marinade to make clumps.
• Heat 2 inches vegetable oil in a large pot over medium heat until a deep-fry thermometer registers 350 degrees F. Dip the tofu in the flour mixture, turning to coat, dip back in the marinade, then re-dip in the flour to coat with the clumpy bits; transfer to a plate. Fry the tofu in two batches, flipping halfway through, until golden brown and crisp, 3 minutes. Transfer to a rack; season with salt. Serve with the sweet potatoes, coleslaw and ketchup sauce.

CIDER-GLAZED SWEET POTATOES WITH CRANBERRIES

Steps:

• Cook sweet potatoes in large pot of boiling salted water until halfway cooked (a knife inserted into center will encounter considerable resistance), about 5 minutes. Drain and cool. (Can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate.)
• Combine cider, sugar, butter, salt and allspice in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat. Bring to boil, stirring often. Add sweet potatoes and cook 5 minutes. Add cranberries and continue cooking until liquid is reduced to syrupy glaze and sweet potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with green onions.

BAKED SWEET POTATO CHIPS (SOUTH BEACH DIET PHASE 2)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400.
• In a large bowl, toss potatoes with oil and seasonings. Spread in a single layer on two large baking sheets and bake for 10 mintues.
• With a spatula, turn slices over and continue baking until chips are golden, about 7 minutes longer.

APPLE CIDER SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Combine the sweet potatoes, apple cider, and salt in a large pot over high heat. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until potatoes are tender, 20 to 30 minutes.
• Mash potatoes together with the cider until smooth. Stir in the butter, and season with pepper.

CIDER FONDANT POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel potatoes and trim the two longer sides so potatoes lie flat on both sides. Heat butter and oil in a frying pan large enough to hold all of the potatoes. When the fat is hot, fry on both sides until dark golden, around 10-15 mins, then add garlic.
• Pour in enough cider and stock to go halfway up the side of the potatoes. Simmer for 20 mins, then turn and cook the other side for 20 mins. Top up with cider and stock if the liquid evaporates. Transfer to oven for 10 mins at 180C/160C/ gas 4 once the pork is resting, until cooked through and most of the liquid has evaporated.
