Grilled Brie And Fig Sandwiches With Sweet Potato Fries Recipes

Steps:

• Spread the fig preserves onto 4 slices of bread.
• Cut the Brie into 8 long, thin slices.
• Lay 2 slices of Brie over the preserves. (I have also used creme de brie since I don't really care for the rind of Brie. If you go this route you can just spread the creme de Brie over the other slices of bread.).
• Arrange the prosciutto over the Brie.
• Top with the remaining 4 slices of bread.
• Spread half of the butter over the tops of the sandwiches and invert onto a hot skillet or pan.
• Spread the remaining butter on the other side of the sandwiches.
• Cook on the stove or in the oven, turning the sandwiches over once or twice, until the bread is golden brown and the Brie is melted.
• Cut in half to serve.

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium-high heat and oil the grates.
• In a large pot, add the sweet potatoes and cover with cold salted water. Bring them to a boil over medium heat. Lower the heat and simmer until you can pierce each potato with a paring knife and there is little to no resistance, approximately 25 to 30 minutes. Do not overcook.
• Transfer the sweet potatoes to a large bowl of cold water to halt their cooking process. Once the potatoes are cool, drain well. Peel the potatoes and cut them lengthwise into thick wedges, about 6 wedges per potato. Put the potatoes into a large bowl and coat them with olive oil. Add the brown sugar, cayenne, salt, pepper, cinnamon and cloves and toss to evenly coat. Put the wedges on the preheated grill. Cook until they are heated through and caramelized, approximately 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve them as they are, or with a side of mint and cumin aioli, if desired.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cook until potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Heat the grill to high.
• While the potatoes are cooling, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the garlic, thyme and chili flakes and cook until the garlic is just soft, about 45 seconds. Remove from the heat.
• Slice each potato in half lengthwise then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size. Brush the wedges with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately toss with the garlic mixture and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 500 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with foil. Scrub the sweet potatoes and cut into fries 1/2-inch thick. Toss on the baking sheet with the olive oil and season lightly with salt. Spread in a single layer and bake for 10 minutes; flip with a spatula, then bake until the ends start to crisp about 8 to 10 minutes.
• Heat a nonstick griddle or large skillet over medium heat.
• Lay the bread slices in pairs on a work surface. Spread the fig preserves equally onto 4 slices of bread.
• Lay 2 slices of cheese over the preserves.
• Arrange the prosciutto on top, folding evenly with the edges of the bread.
• Cover the remaining bread slices and spread half the butter on top. Invert the sandwiches and spread the remaining butter on the other side.
• Put sandwiches in hot pan, cook turning once or twice until both sides are golden and crisp and the cheese is melted.
• Cut the sandwiches in half and serve with sweet potato fries.

Steps:

• Place the potatoes in a large pot of cold water, add 2 tablespoons of salt and cook until potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and let cool slightly.
• Heat the grill to high.
• While the potatoes are cooling, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a small saute pan on the grates of the grill. Add the garlic, thyme and chili flakes and cook until the garlic is just soft, about 45 seconds. Remove from the heat.
• Slice each potato in half lengthwise then slice each half into 3 or 4 wedges, depending on the size. Brush the wedges with the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil and season with salt. Grill until lightly golden brown and just cooked through, about 6 minutes. Remove to a platter and immediately toss with the garlic mixture and chopped parsley.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Cut sweet potatoes in half and then slice into small strips that resemble standard french fries & place in large mixing bowl.
• Sprinkle potatoes with olive oil & all spices, toss until each potato is covered in oil and spices.
• Spread potatoes on boiling pans or wire racks over baking sheets (allows for excess oil to drip and not sit on fries).
• Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour (until browned, they will still be pliable).
• Serve with sour cream or my spicy sour cream dip.

Steps:

• Peel and cut potatoes into 1/4 inch x 1/2 inch strips.
• In a bowl, combine egg white and seasonings; beat well.
• Add potatoes; toss to coat.
• Spray two baking sheets with nonstick cooking spray.
• Place potatoes in a single layer on the two baking sheets.
• Bake, uncovered at 450 degrees for 20-25 minutes or until golden brown.
