RECIPE BANC
Fiery Sweet Potatoes
Although white potatoes often can be used interchangeably with sweet potatoes in many recipes, you would not want to do that here.
Sweet potatoes have that orange hue and subtle sweetness that add an appealing nuance, not to mention the valuable beta-carotene they contain.
Fiery Sweet Potatoes
10-12 Servings
Cooking time: 2 hours
5 pounds sweet potatoes
1 cup coconut milk
1 Tablespoon Thai red curry paste
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Bake potatoes on a baking sheet until very soft, about one hour. When cool enough to handle, peel and mash.
2. In a small saucepan, heat coconut milk with curry paste over low heat. Mix coconut mixture, half the sugar, half the butter, and salt into potatoes. Keep warm until ready to serve, or cover and refrigerate up to two days.
3. At least 30 minutes before serving, heat oven to 425 degrees. Put potatoes in a baking dish, cover with foil and bake for 20 minutes. Uncover potatoes, dot with remaining butter and sugar, and broil until brown and crusty on top, checking often to prevent scorching.
