I was just given a big pile of sweet potatoes and while I've got recipes like "chop them up into sticks, soak in salt water, and then fry them until I think they're done" and "cube them and boil in curry or other heavily spiced stews for ~15 minutes" that all work very well, that's sort of the limit of what I know for them and I want to actually get use out of them before they can spoil.
So I started wondering about making bread, but every recipe I can find seems to just be "this is literally a cake that's being called bread and it's almost 50% table sugar by volume," but that can't be the extent of options can it? There have to be some savory recipes that just rely on the sugar of the sweet potatoes themselves, right?
Have you tried sweet potatoes as a side dish like the holidays?
boil to remove skins (about 10-15 mins), cut them up, place in casserole dish, put in 2-4 tablespoons of butter (I usually use 2), a cup of mini marshmallows and 1/4 cup of brown sugar sprinkled on top, bake for 20-25 mins serve.
Most sweet potato recipes have a lot of sugar because of the sweetness of them, otherwise they can become bitter, it’s a weird situation.
Yes, I'm who has to do most/all the cooking for my extended family and have been for years, and sweet potato casserole one of the things I have to make for that. While a sweet potato casserole is good as an extremely rare thing it's also like eating frosting.
I agree, there really is only so much you can do with sweet potatoes, you can do mashed with them also but imho that’s an acquired taste
