STEVE'S (NOT MASHED) SWEET POTATOES



Steve's (Not Mashed) Sweet Potatoes image

My husband's cousin prepared the sweet potatoes this way for a family reunion type Thanksgiving a couple of years ago. We love them for a change of pace from candied yams and sweet potato casseroles, and they are oh so much better for you.

Time 15m

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 sweet potatoes (choose the smaller ones with the reddish skins)
1 orange, sliced and seeded but unpeeled (optional)
1/4 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 dash ginger (optional)

Steps:

  • Peel and slice sweet potatoes into sticks about 1 inch thick (like fat french fries).
  • Place in a large pot and add water until barely covered.
  • Add orange, sugar, and seasonings to taste.
  • Cook until crisp-tender: bring to a boil, reduce heat, boil gently for 5 to 8 minutes. (Nothing mushy here. There should still be some resistence in the bite.).
  • Serve in syrup (cooking liquid). It's so pretty with the orange slices floating in it.

Time 30m

Yield 6-8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

6 -8 large potatoes (peeled and cubed, about 1-inch cubes)
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons bacon grease (i save my bacon grease, but if you need to cook 3 pieces)
1 pinch onion powder
1 pinch garlic powder
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup water
3 tablespoons butter

Steps:

  • 1. Peel and cube potatoes, put in a medium pot and fill with water until it's about 3 inches above potatoes, bring to a boil, you want the potatoes cooked to they are just fork tender, not falling apart. After the potatoes are done keep them in the same water you cooked them in,.
  • 2. in a jar or container that has a tight lid put the flour and half cup of water in it and shake it until the flour is COMPLETELY dissolved,.
  • 3. stirring constantly but carefully add the dissolved flour and water into the pot with the potatoes and water allow a few minutes to cook on simmer so that it can thicken. If you want it thicker then you can add more flour, if you want it thinner you can just add a little more water.
  • 4. Now is when you want to season to taste with your salt and pepper and the rest of the spices i listed, or you can just season them with salt and pepper either way they are WONDERFUL,.
