Fried Sweet Potatoes Or Yams Recipes

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.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add peeled sweet potatoes, and boil for about 4 minutes. Remove from water, and cut into 1/2 inch slices.
• Melt butter in a large frying pan over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar until dissolved, adding more butter if necessary. Add sweet potatoes, and fry until golden brown and fork tender, turning occasionally. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cut potatoes in round "wheels" about 1/2 inch thick and immediately immerse in water to not discolor.
• Drain and pat dry with paper towel. Fry on low heat until golden brown and stick tender in the middle.
• Place on paper towels and salt immediately.
• Serve and enjoy!

Steps:

• Heat butter until hot; add sweet potatoes.
• Sprinkle with salt.
• Saute for 2 minutes.
• Cover and cook on low for 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
• Uncover and raise heat to med.
• Sprinkle with sugars; cook, turning occasionally until potatoes are browned and crusty, about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil until hot, but not too hot.
• Add the yams and let them brown on the edges and a surface.
• Gently turn the yams over to brown the other side.
• You may have to do this in batches, depending on the size of your pan.
• Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• Scrub the sweet potatoes and leave the skin on (best part.).
• I like using a french fry cutter (it works sort of like those apple corer/slicer things) for this but if you don't have one, just use a knife to cut the potatoes into shoestrings.
• Put the raw fries into a mixing bowl, and pour in the olive oil. Toss well to coat.
• Add the seasonings and toss well again.
• Arrange the fries on a baking sheet and bake at 400F for 10 minutes.
• Turn the fries with a spatula and bake for another 10 minutes.
• Blot any excess oil with paper towels, serve, and enjoy!
