Caramelized Sweet Potatoes Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
• In a large bowl add sweet potatoes, 4 tablespoons of maple syrup, 4 tablespoons of the olive oil, 2 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons black pepper. Mix to evenly coat the potatoes. Set aside.
• In a large skillet over low heat, add 3-4 tablespoons olive oil until heated. Add the sliced onions. Saute, stirring every so often for 20 minutes or until they caramelize. (NOTE: it is very important to saute the onions over low heat, to avoid them from burning). Once they are caramelized, add the remaining 3 to 4 tablespoons maple syrup and the balsamic vinegar. Stir to mix flavors. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Continue sauteing until onions are dark golden brown and fully caramelized, about 5-10 minutes more. Add water, 1 tablespoon at a time, if pan becomes dry. (Refer to Tidbit below).
• Arrange sweet potatoes on a sheet tray. Roast for about 25 to 30 minutes. Mid-way through cooking, lift and turn-over potatoes to brown evenly. Dot caramelized onions over the roasted sweet potato cubes. With a spatula, lift and turn-over potatoes again to evenly distribute onion mixture. Roast for an additional 5 - 8 minutes until potatoes are cooked through and slightly browned. Taste for seasoning.
• Transfer to serving tray and enjoy!
• Tidbit: Note that onions will cook down alot; decreasing the volume. Depending on the power of your stove top and the amount of onions you have in the pan, it may take a longer time for onions to be fully carmelized. They should be dark (not burned) and cooked way down.
• Another tidbit: If not using freshly ground pepper in this recipe, it makes a big enough difference. The store prepared ground doesn't have as much depth.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a heavy skillet over medium heat. Cook onions slowly until golden brown. Add mustard and vinegar and cook another 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add honey, orange zest and thyme, stir to combine. Let cool.
• Preheat grill, Brush the potato slices on both sides with the vegetable oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the potatoes on each side for 3 to 4 minutes or until just cooked through. Place potatoes in a bowl and fold in onion mixture.

Steps:

• In a large skillet cook onions in margarine over medium high heat for 3-4 minutes, or until onions are nearly tender, stir frequently.
• Stir in sweet potatoes and water.
• Cover and cook over medium heat for 12 to 15 minutes or until sweet potatoes are NEARLY tender, stirring occasionally. Notice that in last step you are cooking a bit longer.
• Uncover skillet; add brown sugar and rosemary.
• Cook over medium low heat for 4-5 minutes or until onions and sweet potatoes are glazed, stirring gently occasionally.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes; cook, turning occasionally, 3 minutes. Add garlic; cook, stirring constantly, 1 minute. Add wine and stock; simmer, stirring occasionally, until almost all liquid has evaporated, about 20 minutes. Add brown sugar and salt; cook, carefully turning potatoes to brown both sides, about 20 minutes. Transfer caramelized sweet potatoes to a plate. Let cool slightly.

Steps:

• Melt butter in an oven safe casserole.
• Add the brown sugar and cinnamon.
• Mix well.
• Add the apples and potatoes.
• Stir well to thoroughly coat with the caramel mixture.
• Cover with a lid or foil and bake at 375 for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
• After 30 minutes, remove the cover, stir again, and bake for 10 more minutes, or until caramel is thickened and the potatoes are tender.

Steps:

• Place a steamer insert into a saucepan and fill with water to just below the bottom of the steamer. Bring water to a boil. Add sweet potato, cover, and steam until soft, about 1 hour. Scoop the meat from the skin, transfer to a bowl, and smash using an electric mixer or wooden peg.
• Stir 1/4 cup brown sugar, nutmeg, and cinnamon into smashed sweet potatoes; allow to cool.
• Stir cream, orange juice, 1/4 cup unsalted butter, salt, and pepper into smashed sweet potatoes; transfer to a baking dish.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Melt 3 tablespoons unsalted butter in a skillet over medium-high heat; cook and stir apples and 3 tablespoons brown sugar in the melted butter until lightly browned on both sides, 5 to 10 minutes. Spoon caramelized apples over smashed sweet potatoes.
• Bake in the preheated oven until heated through, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Cover potatoes with salted cold water by 1 inch in a 3-quart heavy saucepan and bring to a simmer. Simmer, uncovered, until just tender, about 15 minutes. Drain potatoes in a colander and cool slightly. When potatoes are just cool enough to handle (but are still very warm), peel and cut into 1/2-inch-wide wedges.
• Cook sugar in a 12-inch heavy skillet, undisturbed, over moderate heat until it begins to melt. Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until sugar melts into a golden caramel. Add butter and salt, stirring until butter is melted. Add potato wedges, stirring gently with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula from bottom of skillet to coat potatoes with caramel (caramel will seize and form small clumps), and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until potatoes are heated through and any clumps of caramel have melted to coat potatoes evenly, 10 to 12 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large saute pan over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add potato wedges to the pan, and stir until coated with butter. Add 1 cup water and the orange juice; cover, and cook until potatoes are fork-tender, about 5 minutes.
• Remove cover, reduce heat to medium, and continue cooking, tossing occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 3 to 4 minutes more.
• Combine sugars, and sprinkle over potatoes; toss until coated. Continue cooking until the sugar starts to caramelize and potatoes have a brown glaze, 5 to 6 minutes, tossing occasionally to prevent potatoes from burning. When caramelized sugar bubbles and browns around the edges, remove potatoes from pan. Season with salt and pepper, garnish with orange zest, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Boil 30 minutes potatoes or until tender.
• Let cool and then peel and cut into 1-inch thick slices.
• Place butter in a large saucepan or skillet and melt.
• Stir in sugar and water and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes.
• Lower heat and add potatoes.
• Simmer for 20 minutes, tossing lightly to coat.
• Sprinkle with coconut before serving.
• Note: I reduced the amount of butter and sugar. Original quantities: 1/2 cup of butter and 1 cup brown sugar.

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C). Scrub and dry the sweet potatoes, then prick several times with a fork and place onto a baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until the sweet potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 50 minutes to 1 hour.
• Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion and bell pepper; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low, and continue cooking and stirring until the onion is very tender and dark brown, 20 to 30 minutes more.
• Split open the baked sweet potatoes and top with the onion mixture, salt, pepper, and a dollop of sour cream.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400º.
• Heat olive oil in frying pan at medium heat and add onion. Sauté until rings separate. Reduce heat to medium low and continue cooking uncovered, until onions are soft and caramelized at least 30 minutes or more, stirring occasionally.
• Meanwhile, prick whole potatoes with skins on and bake in roasting pan for 40 minutes or until soft. When cool enough to handle peel skins from potatoes and set aside.
• When onions are soft add thyme, salt and pepper to taste and mix well. At this point you can either place the onions in a food processor and pulse until they are slightly chunky or chop with a sharp knife.
• Heat a medium sized pot and add butter. Add the sweet potatoes and mash with a fork or potato masher. Add the sour cream or milk a little at a time then add the onion mixture. Blend with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated and adjust S & P to taste.
