FRIED SWEET POTATOES



Fried Sweet Potatoes image

Most of my experiments aren't worth saving, but I actually want to remember what I did this time so am posting the recipe for the brown sugar caramelized sweet potatoes that I made. This recipe is perfect for cooking for 1-2, and only takes a few minutes. I used some very skinny home grown sweet potatoes I picked up at a Farmer's Market and recommend you use potatoes that will slice into small discs rather than huge ones.

Categories     Yam/Sweet Potato

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 tablespoon butter
2 small sweet potatoes (do not peel)
1/8 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

Steps:

  • Slice the sweet potatoes thinly, approximately 1/4-1/2 inch thick.
  • Melt butter in a large hot frying pan over medium-high heat, then places slices in the pan in a single layer. Sprinkle with salt.
  • Fry the potatoes until lightly browned on one side, then flip over each slice. You'll need to watch them carefully and move the slices in the hottest part of the pan to the edges so that they all get browned. Adjust the heat down to medium if needed to keep them from browning too quickly. Total browning time took me about 5-7 minutes.
  • When both sides are lightly browned, sprinkle brown sugar and cinnamon across the top. Wait 1-2 minutes and then toss the potatoes until the brown sugar is caramelized (approx 1 more minute).
  • Remove from pan and serve immediately.

PAN FRIED SWEET POTATOES



Pan Fried Sweet Potatoes image

I like coming up with new ways to serve foods so that I don't get bored with the same dishes all of the time. I decided to try preparing my sweet potatoes in various ways and this is one that I came up with. Very simple and can be modified to suit your taste. The recipe is enough for two generous servings for adults. The potatoes will not be as crispy as regular potatoes because of the texture difference so be sure to not overcook.
