Stuffed Sweet Potato Bites Recipes

Steps:

• Poke each sweet potato a few times and microwave until fork tender, about 10 minutes, rotating about halfway through. Set aside and keep warm.
• Combine the chopped carrots, onions, tomatoes, garlic, 2 tablespoons of the vinegar, cumin, 1 teaspoon salt, oregano, cayenne and a few grinds of black pepper in a food processor; pulse until coarsely chopped. Heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat, add the vegetable mixture and cook, stirring constantly, until dry, 3 to 4 minutes. Add 1/4 cup water and cook, scraping up any brown bits with a wooden spoon, until the water evaporates, about 1 minute. Add the ground beef and cook, stirring and breaking it up into smaller chunks, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Remove from the heat.
• Split the potatoes in half, scoop out some of the warm flesh and add it to the beef mixture; stir to combine. Divide the potato halves among four plates and generously fill each half with the beef-potato mixture. Toss the shredded carrots with the cilantro, the remaining 1 teaspoon vinegar and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a medium bowl. Divide the carrot slaw among the four plates.

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, add the chopped sweet potato fries, Cheddar, honey, 1/2 cup of flour, 1/2 cup of panko bread crumbs, 1 egg, salt, bacon salt seasoning, and chilled butter, and begin to mix rigorously with your hands. When the items are incorporated properly you can begin to form bite-size balls with the mixture. If the sweet potato mixture is not forming properly, add more flour and mix again. After forming the balls, put them on a plate, side by side, until all the mixture is used. When the plate is filled, wrap in plastic wrap and put it in the freezer for at least 1 hour. While the balls are freezing, prepare a "dredging" station. This should consist of (in this order) 1 bowl of seasoned flour (seasoning with salt and pepper is fine, you can also add more bacon salt seasoning) 1 bowl with 2 beaten eggs, and 1 bowl with seasoned panko bread crumbs (same seasoning as flour). When the bites are frozen begin the drudging process. You do this by rolling the balls in the flour, then dipping in the egg, then rolling them in the bread crumbs. Repeat this process with all the sweet potato bites. Fill a frying pan half way full with canola oil. Heat the oil to about 350 to 375 degrees F. When the proper temperature is achieved, gently drop the bites into the oil and cook until the entire outer layer of the bite is a golden brown. Transfer the bites to a plate lined with paper towels to absorb excess oil. When all the balls have been fried and are cooling, take a small mixing bowl and mix the sour cream and the bacon ranch dip mix until it is totally incorporated. Take the tip of the kitchen syringe and put in the dip; pull the lever to transfer the dip into the shaft of the syringe. Insert the needlepoint of the syringe into the center of a sweet potato bite, then gently inject the dip into the bite. You may need to experiment with 1 or 2 bites before you get the technique down. You want to slightly fill the bite, but not overstuff it to the point where the dip leaks out. Continue this process until all the bites have been filled. Arrange the bits on a serving platter and serve warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Place sweet potatoes on a baking sheet.
• Bake sweet potatoes in the preheated oven until tender, 60 to 70 minutes. Remove from the oven and let cool. Leave oven on.
• Slice cooled potatoes in half lengthwise and remove potato meat, being careful not to ruin the shells. Place potato meat into a large bowl and mash. Add butter, honey, and salt; mix until well combined. Stir in drained pineapple. Spoon mixture back into the empty shells.
• Bake until heated through, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, combine maple syrup and brown sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook until sugar melts, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Remove potatoes from the oven and drizzle with warm syrup.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 200C, 400F, gas mark 6.
• Prick the skins of the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, place on a baking tray (they will ooze a sticky syrup whilst cooking) and bake in the oven for about 45 minutes or until tender.
• While the potatoes are baking, mix together the cream cheese, egg yolk, chilli powder, spring onions and seasoning in a bowl; towards the end of the cooking time, preheat the grill to hot.
• When baked, cut the sweet potatoes in half lengthways and, keeping the skins intact, scoop the flesh from the sweet potatoes and add to the cream cheese mixture.
• Stir all the ingredients together, then stuff the mixture back into the skins.
• Dot the tops with butter, sprinkle with extra chilli powder then brown potatoes under the hot grill; serve immediately.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400°F.
• Trim and discard thin slice off end of each potato. Cut each trimmed potato into 8 slices; place in single layer on parchment-covered baking sheet.
• Bake 15 min. Meanwhile, mix butter, sugar and cinnamon until blended.
• Turn potatoes; brush with butter mixture. Bake additional 10 min.
• Remove potatoes from oven. Heat broiler. Top each potato slice with marshmallow half, cut side down.
• Broil, 4 inches from heat, 45 sec. to 1 min. or until marshmallows are golden brown.
• Top marshmallows with nuts. Use back of spoon to press nuts into marshmallows to secure nuts and flatten marshmallows.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 425°F. Prick sweet potatoes on all sides with fork; place on 15x10x1-inch pan. Bake 40 to 50 minutes or until potatoes are tender when pierced in center with fork.
• Meanwhile, in small bowl, mix avocado, 1/2 teaspoon of the lime juice, 1 tablespoon of the cilantro and 1/8 teaspoon of the salt. Mash with fork to chunky consistency. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
• In 10-inch nonstick skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add onion, poblano chile, bell pepper and tomatoes. Cook 5 to 6 minutes or until tomatoes are soft and other vegetables are crisp-tender. Add beans, taco seasoning mix, remaining 1/8 teaspoon salt, remaining 1 teaspoon lime juice and the water. Cook and stir 3 to 4 minutes or until completely heated through and slightly thickened.
• Split potatoes open; divide bean mixture among potatoes-they will be very full. Divide avocado mixture among potatoes; top with remaining 1 tablespoon cilantro.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, mix butter and seasonings. Add sweet potatoes and toss to coat., Wrap 1 piece bacon around each sweet potato cube; secure with a toothpick. Sprinkle with brown sugar. Place on a parchment-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan., Bake until bacon is crisp and sweet potato is tender, 40-45 minutes. Serve with maple syrup.

Steps:

• Bake sweet potato in a 375°F. oven until tender, about 1 hour. Cut thin slice from the top of each potato, lengthwise, and carefully scoop out the insides. Mash. Sauté mushrooms in 4 tablespoons butter. Add to potatoes. Add remaining ingredients except butter. Mix well. Stuff potato skins with the mixture. Dot with remaining butter. Bake in 375°F. oven until brown--about 20 minutes. (This may be baked in a greased casserole instead of the potato skins if desired.)
