Fried Sweet Potatoes Or Yams Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes into thin wedges.
• Pile them in a bowl and cover them with cold water.
• Let rest 15 minutes.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Coat a baking sheet with vegetable spray.
• Set aside.
• Drain the potatoes and dry them with paper towels.
• Press the potatoes with paper towels to remove all water.
• Transfer the potatoes to a large bowl.
• Sprinkle the potatoes with oil, tossing the potatoes to disburse it.
• Then sprinkle with pepper, salt, paprika and cayenne pepper.
• Bake the potatoes at 375 degrees F for 20 minutes.
• Turn over the potatoes.
• Sprinkle potatoes with garlic and continue cooking for another 15-20 minutes or until crisp and brown.
• Serve immediately.

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:

• 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!

Steps:

• Dice sweet potatoes no thicker than 1/4 inch thick.
• Place pan on medium heat to begin warming. While waiting dice onion and prepare garlic.
• Place oil in pan and add potatoes, garlic, and onions and then coat well(be sure that oil is not left to heat up or it will scorch the onions and garlic).
• Sprinkle salt and pepper just after adding other ingredients to the pan.
• Allow the potatoes to cook for a few minutes and check for browning. Keep temperature from getting too hot.
• Stir occasionally until potatoes are to your desired doneness (approx 10 minutes for me.
• Turn off heat and add brown sugar while still hot. Stir well and serve.
• * variation* try using butter instead of olive oil for a more sweet and traditional flavor.

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:

• 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.

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.

Steps:

• In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of oil until hot, but not too hot.

• Drain on paper towels.

Steps:

• At least 30 minutes prior place sliced potatoes in bowl and cover with water.
• Preheat oven to 400°F.
• Line cookie sheet(s) with aluminum foil (makes clean-up a snap). Use two cookie sheets if necessary . . . for crisp potatoes they need lots of space, so don't crowd!
• Spray foil with non-stick spray.
• Drain potatoes and pat dry with paper towels.
• Return potatoes to (dry) bowl and drizzle with oil and toss to coat.
• Sprinkle with paprika, salt, cinnamon and brown sugar; toss to coat.
• Place on prepared cookie sheets; again, DO NOT CROWD, use two sheets if necessary!
• Roast, turning the potatoes every 10 minutes, until potatoes are browned and tender, 15-20 minutes. If using two cookie sheets, alternate the pans after 10 minutes!
