MEXICAN SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet with a little room in between each one and bake for 12-15 minutes, until they start to brown around the edges. You might need to work with two baking sheets.
• Transfer the potatoes to a 12'' cast iron skillet and layer with frozen corn and shredded cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and top with sliced jalapeño, avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Boil the potatoes for 5 mins. Meanwhile, heat the oil in a frying pan and gently fry the onion for 8 mins. Add the garlic and spices, then fry for 2 mins more.
• Drain the potatoes and tip into the onion mix. Turn up the heat and shake the potatoes around so that they are all covered. Cook for 10 mins more until tender, then serve with soured cream, sprinkled with a little cayenne.

Steps:

• Boil the kettle. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until just soft, about 4-5 mins. Stir in the chipotle paste and cook for 1 min more.

• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche, a scattering of coriander leaves and some crusty bread rolls.
