Tyler Florences Roasted Sweet Potato Banana Puree Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork, put them in a roasting pan and roast for 30 minutes. Toss the bananas into the pan and continue roasting for 10 to 15 minutes, until both the bananas and potatoes are very soft. Remove the pan from the oven but don't turn the oven off.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with 1 stick of the butter, and the honey. Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything's well combined and the mixture is fluffy. Spoon into an oven-proof serving bowl and smooth the top.
• In a separate mixing bowl, use your fingers to rub together the remaining stick of butter, the brown sugar, flour, and pecans until the mixture is the consistency of coarse crumbs. Sprinkle the crumb mixture over the sweet potatoes and return to the oven. Cook for about 20 minutes, until the crumbs are golden. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Wash and scrub potatoes well. Peel and cut them into same-size pieces so they cook evenly. Put them into a medium-sized pot and add the garlic, bay leaves, salt and pepper, to taste. Cover with the cream and milk and set over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are very tender, about 30 minutes. When cooked, discard the bay leaves and the drain potatoes, reserving the cooking liquid. Mash the potatoes with a potato masher using 1 1/2 cups of the cooking liquid; use more if necessary. Alternately, run the potatoes through a ricer or a food mill over a bowl and ladle in some of the cream mixture so they become creamy. Stir in the horseradish and chopped chives and season with salt and pepper, to taste. Transfer to a serving bowl and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
• Prick the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and roast on a sheet pan for 15 minutes.
• Place the bananas in the same pan and roast 15 minutes more. Turn the oven down to 350 degrees F.
• When the potatoes are cool enough to handle, scoop out the flesh into a large mixing bowl. Peel the bananas and add them to the bowl along with the honey and 1 stick of butter.
• Season with salt and beat vigorously with a wooden spoon until everything is well combined.
• Blend the other stick of butter with the chopped pecans, sugar, flour and a bit of salt in a food processor until it has a coarse crumb texture.
• Place the potato mixture in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish and level out.
• Sprinkle the crumbs over the top and bake until the top browns and crisps, 7 to 8 minutes.
• Serve hot.
