SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES WITH AVOCADO DIP

Steps:

• Preheat your oven to 450 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and set aside.
• Place the sweet potatoes in a large bowl and toss with olive oil until the sweet potatoes are coated. Add the paprika, chili powder, coriander, salt, and pepper; toss to distribute evenly.
• Arrange the coated fries in a single layer on the prepared pan. Bake for 20 minutes on the lower rack until the sweet potatoes soften. Transfer the pan to the upper rack of the oven and bake 10 minutes longer, until fries are crispy. Serve with Avocado Dip.
• Place the avocado, mayonnaise, cream cheese, jalapeno, scallions, and lime juice into a blender or small food processor. Blend for 1 minute or until you have a smooth paste. Season with salt and pepper, to taste. Serve as a dip for the Sweet Potato Oven Fries.
• * Cook's Note: We find that Hass avocados make the smoothest and best tasting Avocado dip.

ROASTED SWEET POTATO OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Place the chopped lemon grass and ginger in a mortar and pestle and add a generous pinch of kosher salt. Pound and grind until you have obtained a coarse paste. Add 1 tablespoon of the olive oil and work the ingredients together with the pestle. Scrape into a small saucepan and add the remaining olive oil. Stir together and bring to a very gentle sizzle over medium-low heat. Sizzle, shaking or swirling the pan often, for 2 minutes and turn off the heat. Allow the mixture to steep for 30 minutes. Strain into a large bowl, pressing the ginger and lemon grass against the strainer to extract all of the oil. You should have 3 tablespoons of oil. Add a little more olive oil if necessary.
• Meanwhile preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment and brush the parchment with olive oil. Cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthwise. If they are very long, cut the halves in half crosswise as well. Cut each half into 4 long wedges - smaller sweet potatoes will yield 8 wedges, larger will yield 16.
• Place the sweet potato wedges in the bowl with the oil. Add the ground cumin and coriander, and salt to taste, and toss together until the wedges are thoroughly coated with oil. Place on the baking sheet in a single layer (use 2 baking sheets if necessary). Place in the oven and set the timer for 10 minutes. Turn the wedges over and roast for another 10 minutes. Turn the wedges again and roast for another 5 to 10 minutes, depending on the thickness of the wedges and how fast they are caramelizing. The wedges should be tender when pierced and there should be some caramelized bits, especially at the thin tips. Remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly before eating.

SWEET POTATO AND YUCA OVEN FRIES

Steps:

• Set one oven rack to the upper-middle position and one to the lower-middle position. Preheat oven to 450 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with aluminum foil.
• Put the sweet potato fries in a large bowl and toss with 1 T of the olive oil, 1/4 t of the chile powder, 1/4 t of the coriander and some salt and pepper. Transfer the fries to a baking sheet and bake on the lower-middle rack until the sweet potato fries start to shrivel, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the yucca and cook until tender, about 25 minutes, and then drain. Once the yucca is cool enough to handle, cut it into 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick fries.
• Place the yuca fries in the large bowl and toss them with the remaining 1 T olive oil (add more if needed to coat them) and remainder of the chile powder, ground coriander and some more salt and pepper. Transfer the yuca to the second baking sheet. Move the sweet potatoes to the upper-middle rack and place the yuca on the lower-middle rack and bake for 10 minutes. Then turn both the sweet potatoes and yuca over and bake until golden crisp, 5 to 10 minutes more.
• Serve accompanied by a bowl of sour cream and bowl of sweet chile sauce for dipping, if you like.
