How I Taught My Brother To Cook

Improvisational Tuscan-Provençal Cookery (and other good stuff to eat)

This is my variation on the age old "Potatoes Anna" which calls for regular potatoes.

two medium yams or sweet potatoes
butter
olive oil
honey
pepper

Olive oil and butter in pan. When hot, place sliced potatoes in oil/butter. If you want, you can add some sliced or diced onion layered with potatoes. When brown, turn with spatula and cook other side. When potatoes are tender, serve drizzled with honey

ENJOY!

Sweet potatoes are the best. Hilary makes "French fries" by cutting them up and roasting them in the oven.

I made a huge batch a week or so ago, for the kids. Got 'em nice and brown and crunchy with just a tad of olive oil. The kids devoured them.

They are good mashed also. And would make a great filling for ravioli's!

Not to mention sweet potato gnocchi. For the roasted ones I would probably go with a sweet/hot mustard on the side.

Sweet potata pie!

I like 'em baked (with the skins on of course) then split and butter melted on them, salt and pepper, and sour cream or yogurt.

Yeah, the good ol' fashioned way is best. The variations are good also, since these have such good flavor and can be made in such diverse recipes.

Sweet potatoes - the other orange meat!

Ha! Yes, it is. And we welcome the difference!
