Fluffy Sweet Potatoes Food

SWEET POTATO FLUFF

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Mix the mashed sweet potatoes, white sugar, eggs, 1/2 cup of the butter or margarine, vanilla and flaked coconut. Place in heat proof 2 quart sized casserole dish.
• With a fork mix the brown sugar, flour, pecans and the remaining 1/3 cup of butter or margarine. Sprinkle over the top of the potato mixture. Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 30 minutes.

WHIPPED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Slice sweet potatoes into chunks. Place them in a large pot with cold water and let it come to a boil. Once the water is boiling, reduce the heat to medium-high. Cook for 20-30 more minutes, or until the sweet potatoes are fork-tender.
• Drain the water and return the potatoes back the pot. Add the butter, heavy cream, salt, pepper, vanilla, and nutmeg. Whip the mixture with a food processor, hand mixer, stand mixer, immersion blender, masher, or a fork.
• Serve and enjoy!

SWEET POTATO WAFFLES

Steps:

• Put cubed sweet potatoes in a steamer basket. Place the basket in a large pot of simmering water that is no closer than 2 inches from the bottom of steamer. Allow potatoes to steam for 20 minutes of until fork tender. Mash cooked potatoes and set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt and set aside.
• In another bowl combine the sweet potatoes, milk, brown sugar, butter, and grated orange rind. Stir the sweet potato mixture into the flour mixture and thoroughly combine. Beat egg whites until stiff peaks form. Gradually fold egg whites into batter 1/3 at a time. The batter will be thick. Using a No. 20 disher (scoop), place 2 scoops of batter onto a preheated, oiled waffle iron, and cook until lightly browned, about 5 to 6 minutes.

FLUFFY SWEET POTATO MUFFINS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F and grease a standard size 12 cup nonstick muffin tin well. (I use classic Pam spray.)
• Add the sweet potato, milk, butter, maple syrup, egg, and vanilla to a medium bowl. Stir together, going slowly and gently, until fully combined together.
• Stir in the flours, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.
• To add chocolate chips, sprinkle a few on top of each muffin before baking. To add lemon zest (without chocolate), stir 1 tablespoon fresh lemon zest into the batter.
• Divide among the prepared muffin tin, using about 1/4 cup batter in each, and bake for 16-20 minutes or until a cake tester inserted into the center of a muffin comes out cleanly. (In my oven it was right at 18 minutes. To make as mini muffins, bake for about 12-14 minutes.) Let cool for a minute in the pan, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.
• Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

FLUFFY BAKED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place potatoes directly on middle rack, lining lower rack with foil. Bake until tender, 45 to 50 minutes. Slit potatoes lengthwise, and open. Fluff with a fork, and add topping.
• Classic Topping: Divide 1/2 cup sour cream or creme fraiche among potatoes. Crumble 4 slices cooked bacon and sprinkle 2 tablespoons chopped chives over tops. Season with coarse salt and freshly ground pepper.
• Savory Topping: Melt 1/4 cup unsalted butter over medium heat, swirling pan, until just beginning to brown. Swirl in 1 tablespoon chopped fresh sage. Divide sage butter and 2 ounces crumbled goat cheese among potatoes. Season with coarse salt and cayenne pepper.
• Sweet Topping: Combine 1/2 cup toasted, chopped pecans, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, 1/4 cup packed brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon cinnamon. Divide among potatoes. Season with coarse salt.

FLUFFY MASHED SWEET POTATOES AND CARROTS

Steps:

• Rinse, peel, and chop potatoes and carrots into large bite-sized pieces (see photo) and add to a large pot or Dutch oven. Cover with water by about 1 inch to ensure they're submerged.
• Bring water to a boil over high heat. Once boiling, slightly reduce heat to medium-high and continue cooking at a slightly less rapid boil for about 10-15 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are very tender (they should easily fall off a knife when pierced).
• Drain carrots and potatoes and add back to the pot (or to a food processor or blender for a whipped purée effect). Add butter of choice, minced garlic, ginger, turmeric, and sea salt to taste. Mash (or purée) until smooth. We found a food processor to give the creamiest texture, but mashing works fine, too (it just leaves a bit more texture).
• Add more butter (or a bit of water) as needed to get creamy and smooth. Taste and adjust flavor as needed, adding more butter for creaminess, spices to taste, or sea salt to taste.
• Serve hot. Garnish with additional butter of choice, fresh parsley, and salt and pepper (all optional). Store cooled leftovers in the refrigerator up to 4-5 days.
