15-ways-to-use-sweet-potato
I’ve cleaned out the vegetable crisper, gave it a good clean, topped it up with my fresh fruit and vegies for the week and I have three sweet potato that will need using up this week. Still some life in them and too good to throw them away. So how am I going to use it up?
  •  Use it the same way you do normal white potatoes, ie chips, fries, mash, baked, potato bake, roasted, boiled, soup, potato topped pies, gnocchi, hash browns, quiches, frittatas.
  • Use in cakes, muffins (add 1 cup of cooked, mashed sweet potato to just about any recipe).
  • Mashed in potato cakes like fish cakes, vegetarian burger patties, savoury pancakes or fritters.
  • As a staple in any vegetarian dish, eg curries, lasagne, vegetable stack, roast vegetable salad etc.
  • Mashed in a dip.

Inspired by stuffed cannelloni, this vegetarian dish consists of blanched sweet potato slices wrapped around pureed sweet potato and diced apple, topped with shaved Parmesan and toasted walnuts. The remarkably rich taste and vibrant appearance make it a worthy-and healthful-addition to any dinner.Recipe: Sweet Potato Cannelloni

    I love sweet potato baked or in potato chip style but those sweet potato brownies have me intrigued. My sister gave me a recipe for a mexican cottage pie using sweet potato as the top. It was delish.

    Sweet potato BROWNIES??!! Are you serious??

    I planted out a sweet potato that sprouted about 6 months ago – and have just last week picked our first three sweet potatoes!!!! Even though I could get a bag of them for $1.99 at the moment, nothing beats the feeling of harvesting and then eating your own homegrown produce 🙂

    Great ideas there Anne – quite intrigued by the sweet potato brownies! I love sweet potato as the mash topping for my sheppards pie. Wish Olive loved it as much as we do though….

    we just had sweet potato tonight! Nothing fancy, just with butter and cinnamon. I'm loving all of those desserts – I've never thought about adding sweet potato.

    YUM! I think my favorite way to have sweet potatoes is sweet potato fries!
