LET'S TALK ABOUT SWEET POTATO! | Jamie Oliver

[@donalskehan]

I am a sweet potato addict! Love them :)

[@misssugarlump2000]

And I love you equally Donal!! Xx

[@BloodyAngel88]

+Donal Skehan Yeah...and that love of yours got me addicted to sweet potato fries, you jerk. lol (just kidding. you're actually awesome)

[@annamariposa6959]

+Donal Skehan yes meeee tooooo!!!!!

[@saiphatak96]

I love randomly seeing your posts supporting other KZbinrs, especially the cooking channels!

[@kingjeshua0]

Sweet potato fries: cut them in to wedges, coat lightly with oil then ad spices of choice I recommend smoked paprika powder and sea salt. Roast them in the oven at 180 Celsius for about 30-40 min turning them at the halfway point. Delicious!

[@alidasoo6654]

How much is 180 C in Fahrenheit?

[@husmor50]

+Ali dasoo 180 C is 356 F

[@cmmiestcat]

+Ali dasoo If you copy and paste your question into Google you would've received your answer. lol

[@DisneyPlaytime]

+JoshⓋ What's the secret to getting them to crisp up like normal potatoes? Mine always end up really soft .. :(

[@Sanerah]

+Disney Playtime sprickel some semolina on em, gives a nice crunch

[@EmilBrikha]

You forgot to mention one important thing... never, ever peal a sweet potato, especially if you're cooking it in a pan or oven. The skin contains insane amounts of nutrients and gets really delicious when it's crunchy. So keep the skin on! :)

[@annaperry1291]

I agree. The skin is where most of the fiber is anyway. It reminds me of the shell on an M&M XD, except healthy of course

[@nicolawoods8418]

I think it's the same with most root veggies too :)

[@kevino3866]

+Emil “Beatsnatcher” Brikha stupid question, can you eat the skins like a normal potato? Once baked or cooked?

[@PutBoy]

+Emil “Beatsnatcher” Brikha The skin doesn't have much more nutrients than the flesh, what it has is more fiber.

[@misfit2022]

Great comment That was a question I was about to ask having purchased sweet potato today

[@supernuss97]

Here's another one : I like to cut my sweet potato in cubes and bake them in the oven for about 40-45mins . I sprinkle a bit of olive oil over them , then i add my spices which are sea salt , pepper a little bit of garlic powder , and a looot of chili powder you can also add a little bit of tymian if you like . After its baked nice and golden i serve it with some jogurt i mixed before with different herbs :)

[@YVRSURF]

+Jamie Oliver Lost 30lbs in 30 days biking and adding sweet potato's to my day they really keep you feeling full , Best food on the planet tied with avocado

[@Astryca]

+super nuss do you mean thyme when you say tymian?

[@ze_rubenator]

+Gekidokami He's probably not from an English speaking country, where tymian is its name. So the answer to your question is yes and no. Here it's called timian.

[@Astryca]

Ze Rubenator do you mean norway? because i also say "Tmian", thats why i noticed it xD

[@supernuss97]

+Gekidokami yea i meant thyme ^^

[@themulanshow4694]

I like to make sweet potato porridge for breakfast. I grow up eating it in China. It's so simple and easy. Traditionally, all u need is sweet potato and rice. Boil rice and water together in the pot and put the diced sweet potato in the pot, cooked it until the desire consistency. However, i do find that it takes a long time in the morning to make rice porridge. To speed up i replace rice with oats and i cook the sweet potato the night before. U don't need any added sugar in this recipe which is always a good thing! To make it even better, toss some chia seed, flax seeds or any kind of seeds u have on hand. U can also add coconut milk or soy milk to make it more liquidy! I love having it for breakfast, it's really fulfilling!

[@Morfeusm]

Sounds like something I am looking for all my life!

[@irishui2867]

I ate sweet potato with black coffee every morning ! love it! And my husband is a professional sweet potato grower, he grows sweet potato with his heart & full of love! love this video!

[@kaitlynfresh]

I love using sweet potatoes instead of nacho chips!!! I mandolin a sweet potato and roast in the oven with a drizzle of oil chilli flakes, salt and pepper for 25-30 mins on 180. While that's cooking prepare your toppings! Avocado salsa, spring onions, coriander and a dollop of natural yoghurt :) You could even add some turkey mince in that too Man I'm hungry now.

[@nickyjones88]

love this idea! I'm stealing it ;)

[@hanelno]

Yes! So adictuve, this is a really good one you're sharing! (:

[@boollyboolly]

Nice. !

[@lofts2399]

+Katie Bott Loooove this idea, need to get me a mandolin!

[@amandae.6948]

How do you get them in a "chipsy" texture? I have done this several times and i always fail, they get burned around the edges and soft in the middle area, no matter what i do or how thin or thick i slice them :(

[@ErikaBlabar]

Soup made with sweet potato, onion, garlic, chili, bell pepper, tomato, ginger and coriander/cilantro is my absolute fave way to eat sweet potato!

[@LoveBaseballLove]

Yum! I like to chop in bite size pieces, olive oil, s&p, garlic powder. Roast @ 375 f for 20 ish minutes.

[@smokedog2185]

A got to try that 👍🏻

[@TheEarlySpring]

Tried yesterday : sweet potatoes cut in pieces in an oven plate, with red onions, Rosemary, garlic, cherry tomatoes, big salt and crushed pepper and a tiny bit of squeezed lemon. When out of the oven, add a bit of smoked salmon and feta on top: delicious!

[@lofts2399]

+TheEarlySpring YUM!

[@lydiloo93]

That sounds amazing! Definitely going to try this, thanks!

[@daisyfairy9720]

[@BloomerzUK]

I love making sweet potato rosti's/hash-browns. Very easy to prepare: - Peel 2 or 3 large sweet potatoes. - Grate using a box grated on the course side into a bowl - Season with a generous pinch of medium grain sea salt and leave for 10 minutes - Drain excess liquid out of the bowl by placing hand over the top of the grated potato - Dump the potato into a clean thin tea towel and tighten up the end to squeeze out as much moisture as possible - Add back to a clean bowl and season with freshly ground black pepper and 4tbps of melted butter. - Form into rough patties or using a ring mold. - Now fry in a pan with 2 or 3 tbps of any oil of your choice on medium heat for 10-15 minutes or until the potato is tender and the edges are golden brown Perfect to serve with fried or poached eggs on top.

[@10buffster]

+JBloomfield1990 Nice one!

[@TheDarwiniser]

A chunk of sweet potato cooked just right in the oven, with a dash of salt, is a thing of beauty. In with the roast, using its soft centre to mop up gravy and meat remnants towards the end of the plate is a landmark in my childhood memories. If one can love a vegetable, it must be this masterpiece of flavour, colour and health, surely.

[@DeinosDinos]

We all know that when it comes to sweet potatoes, you can boil 'em, mash 'em, but can you stick 'em in a stew?

[@dwaynewladyka577]

Of course you can!

[@Morfeusm]

I love them in stews

[@Morfeusm]

MusikAlltid lol, I know how to cook :) I need my Luthien.

[@kevino3866]

+Maurice K sure you can, even better when you cook them and any other meat of preference in a electric pressure cooker!

[@redrobot77]

sweet taterz

[@andreagianopoulos]

One of my favorite ways to use them is soup: Cut into chunks, toss with olive oil, salt, pepper, and roast them. In a stock pot, saute onion and a bit of garlic, add roasted sweet potatoes, thyme, and a pinch of cayenne pepper (optional, and to your taste). Deglaze the roasting pan with a bit of your favorite chicken or veggie stock, add it and the rest of the stock to the pot. Simmer until all of the veg is tender. Wiz until smooth. If you are short on time, you can skip the roasting step and just add cubed, raw sweet potato to the pot, but the caramelized bits add loads of flavor.

[@Sarah-gf8su]

One well-mashed sweet potato in your pancake batter will taste amazing, it lets you skip on the sugar too ! I did oats, sweet potato, egg, whisked it together and it was delicious !

[@nothestallion]

recipe potato sweet

[@prowseify]

Best thing ever: whole baked sweet jacket potato, cut open and topped with tabouleh (cucumber, tomatoes, capsicum, parsley, lemon juice or whatever) and a dressing of tahini, lemon juice and water and seasoning. The tahini and sweet potato combo is awesome!!

[@mumumadz6740]

Jamie Oliver there is no chef like , I love that you have a crew and put so much effort for this channel and your guide videos , really brings the community closer to the chef. I'm 18 and you make it easier for me to start cooking certain food such as fish

[@saramaric6111]

I like to chop them in slices and then mix them with olive oil, pepper, Himalayan salt, curry powder, cayenne pepper, ground cumin and kurkuma powder! This is a great way to eat kurkuma too! Finally bake them in the oven for about 25 minutes (180 degrees) or until slightly golden brown :)

[@barbara1407]

Par-boil sweet potato wedges for a couple of minutes, cool slightly, toss lightly in oil, sprinkle with salt, smoked paprika and then sprinkle with lemon juice. Bake in a single layer on a tray in a ht oven maybe 20 mins, turning half way. Serve with fried fish. Tastes great.

[@dawnp8572]

I use sweet potatoes in a vegitarian chilli, peeled cubed & roasted with a drizzle of olive oil and seasoned with your Chilli spices of choice then simmered with black beans, kidney beans(light, dark and white) diced tomatoes, onions, shredded carrot (with four kids I always work more veggies into everything) tomato paste and a little water and season to taste

[@Eric998765]

I started substituting potatoes for sweet potatoes 100% of the time a year or two ago and haven't missed regular one bit. I mash, bake, roast, pan fry, and slow cook them. Sometimes I cook them savory, sometimes sweet, sometimes even in a dessert. I also use different types, orange for sweeter, Japanese for savory or if I want more bite to a dish (red ones get mushier so they are better for mashed). Fun fact: Sweet potato isn't even in the potato family, they are technically the below ground part of a type of morning flower, and as such, have long vines with pretty flowers on them.

[@CrunchRatSupreem]

mash em up with some parsnips and grass fed butter, top with all natural almond butter (or whole almonds if you like) and just a touch of vanilla extract (I like to add some fresh mint as well, but to each their own for it can be overpowering). Absolutely beautiful. Eat it nearly every night for dessert.

[@parkavecloset6265]

I live in California and I grew up eating sweet potato. In spanish they're called Camote. be sure to poke a couple of holes on each side and roast at 350 Fahrenheit for 45 to about 1 hour (depending on size). My mom once told me that back in the 1930's, her mother would throw a few whole into the embers of their wood burning stove after dinner. Then the men would put them in their pockets and warm their hands on their way to work at 4:30 in the morning. They would eat them for lunch. They're really good with some milk and cinnamon! So naturally sweet.

[@ivoman7]

Here's a really easy recipe for making sweat potato fries. Grab a bowl. Cut each sweat potato into (ex. 8) wedges. One potato per person. Throw them in a bowl. Add olive oil. Add paprika powder. Add chili flakes, or not. Toss them around. Lay them on an oven tray. And put them in the oven at 180°C for 30-35 minutes. No need to peal the sweat potatoes because there's loads of flavor in the skin too!

[@carlacross9371]

In the Dominican Republic we cut it in slides and fried it, we baked it (at oven or parrilla) and put some butter on it and serve with a cup of hot chocolate for breakfast. We also eat it on smatch version with milk butter and a bit of sea salt.

[@DuckieDooh]

Cube them, cut them into wedges, or use a french fry cutter, then coat with oil, salt, cinnamon, and paprika (normal or smoked). Bake at 400 for 25-45 minutes (depending on how thick the end product is cut). Simple and delicious!

[@marlasinger1431]

Sweet Potatoe & Pumpkin Mash So basically what I do is boil 1/3rd sweet potatoes, 1/3rd of regular potatoes and 1/3rd of pumpkin or butternut squash until they are all nice and soft. I add some salt & 1 vegetable stock cube to my water (always!) for some extra flavor. Mash it all up and then add come cumin, some nigella, nutmeg, pepper, coriander (fresh if you have it otherwise grounded will do nicely as well) - anything you like really! You could also add some garlic, some parsley, just play with it. Some drops of truffle oil, some good butter, etc. can also spunk it up - depending on what you’re serving the mash with. Occasionally I add some coconut cream as well. Then I just grate some cheese (parmesan, povolone, other Italian/French cheeses) on the top and let that gratinate for about 10-15 minutes in a preheated oven on 200°C. It’s yum! You obviously don’t need to gratinate this dish, it’s perfect in and on its own but I’m just cheesy that way.

[@PaulaActon]

Sweet potato with roasted butternut squash makes the best soup ever, make with veg stock, then have as is for healthy days and for special treat add cream before serving

[@ravercat4]

With fall soup weather coming up this sounds yummy.

[@PaulaActon]

+Jamie Oliver The other favourite soup in my house at the minute is beetroot and parsnip, a combination I tried out when I had extra beets that needed using up

[@ToxicHorsePucky]

Cube, dust with brown sugar and cinnamon, toss in the oven/microwave til fork tender. It's to die for. You could probably cut out the brown sugar to save some calories. You can have it as a side or as a dessert. My guess is that you've had this for thanksgiving but with some marshmallows added.

[@MrsBrownGnome]

I love to slice them about 1cm thick and then fry them in a pan in coconut oil till they get soft and begin to brown. sprinkle with some seasalt and they are fantastic!

[@dwaynewladyka577]

I love sweet potatoes when they are boiled and mashed. I love putting olive oil, a pinch of salt, pepper and spices like cinnamon and nutmeg in it. So good! I also love putting sweet potatoes or yams in pumpkin soup.

[@petrap9214]

I love sweet potatoes. My favorite way to make them is to just cube them (I leave the peel on, but you can remove it), spice them with salt, pepper and a bit of thyme, drizzle them with olive oil, add one or two sliced onions and roast them in a 180°C oven for about 20 minutes, flipping everything once halfway through.They also go into my harvest stew:3 slices bacon or turkey bacon, or1 tablespoon lard; 2 tablespoons olive oil; 1 onion, chopped; 2 cloves garlic, chopped; 1 bell pepper, chopped; 1 teaspoon dried chili; 1 teaspoon dried thyme; 1 cup cooked kidney beans; 1 cup fresh corn; 2 cups diced sweet potato; 2 cups diced squash or pumpkin; 2 fresh tomatoes, diced; 1 cup chicken, veal or vegetable broth; salt and pepper to taste.In a large pan, cook the bacon over medium heat. Add the olive oil (or if using lard, heat the lard and oil together). Add the onion, garlic and bell pepper, sauté until the onion is translucent. Add chili and thyme. Add everything else except the corn and simmer for about 10 minutes, then add the corn and simmer another 10 minutes. Top with avocado slices and sliced scallions, and serve with a crispy bread.

[@dawnesmith-sliming7004]

Roasted sweet potato hummus with a bit of cumin and chill powder is one of my favourites. We love it as a one sheet meal with chicken, sweet potato, onions and peppers seasoned with a mix of harissa paste, tomato paste , olive oil and lemon juice. I have a friend who makes burritos with sweet potatoes, onions, peppers, black beans and a bit of cheese . She says they taste really good and are a really affordable family meal. They are also great in soups with curry and/or coconut milk.

[@Alayne89]

I make a sweet potato mash. I add milk and a bit of cream cheese to the mash (instead of butter or cream). Gives it a little bit of salt to balance out the sweetness. I'll often add a bit of pumpkin to the mash as well. Goes great with roasts, and freezes/reheats well. I also use it when making pumpkin soup. 2 parts pumpkin, 1 part sweet potato, 1 part normal potato, cook it all in stock (usually chicken) with herbs of choice (I usually go with a bit of thyme, rosemary or lavender) until super soft, and then whizz altogether. Add a bit of thickened cream and heat through, then serve with cheese toasties.

[@heenamohadeo7544]

Hi Jamie, I hope you are well . I am from Melbourne. I love watching your shows which have given me loads of inspiration. As a result of lockdown I am now enjoy home cooking more than take away 😀. Many thanks .

[@bofud]

The way I like to use sweet potatoes is for vegetable curry. I usually use normal potatoes, pumpkin (hokkaido or something similar), pepper and sweet potatoes the combination of hokkaido pumpkin and sweet potatoes is just the best thing ever. You just roast some onions, garlic and ginger, add the vegetables, roast them with a little oil, add water and some lovely curry masalas and raw turmeric and let the whole thing simmer for 30-45 minutes until it's nice and creamy and there you go, its kind of my own recipe that I just figured out by trial and error and I love to make this, its simple and really delicious!

[@aoi01]

Roastet sweet potato and pumkin with carlic, red onions and sun dried tomatoes. Tossed with olive oil, some sea salt, black pepper and thyme. 180°C for 30 min and you have a lovely meal that can be eaten cold the next day as well (I like to pack it as my lunch with some Feta or grilled chicken)

[@bradygolden5232]

Roasted sweet potatoes- cube a sweet potato into 1 inch cubes, toss with a tbsp coconut oil, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and a little paprika, then bake for 25 minutes at 420 F. I eat this recipe 3 or 4 times a week! I'm addicted.

[@allysonyoung2771]

I have been eating the most delicious dish of sweet potatoes and beans for 4 days running. This is a Jamie Oliver recipe. Delicioza!

[@syrales5539]

they work very well in veggie-lasagne, i slice them with skin and put them in the ofen while its heating up for the lasagne, prepare the rest (i often use cooked fresh spinach with garlic and mozzarella, a tomatoe-veggie-sauce, maybe with a quorn substitute for mincedmeat, and i put champignons and boletus in my bechamel. i also use some cilantro and basil - quorn used well is a very good substitute btw) also, you could put it with spicy oiled endivies, wallnuts and pumpkin in the ofen.

[@chelseajupiter2103]

Jacket sweet potatoes with a bit of shredded chicken and some black beans, diced peppers, corn (go light on the corn). brown rice, etc. Go crazy. It's amazing and you'll never get tired of it.

[@linerindbl7893]

Sweet potatoes cut into wedges, then cover in oil, salt, pepper, thyme & honey. Then bake. So good!

I love the purple sweet potatoes, especially the color is very vibrant

[@philbe8843]

Love them cubed tossed in thyme, red pepper flake, and olive oil. Roast for aprox 40 minutes in 400 f / 205 c oven. Yumm

[@Apparentlyyy]

I live in nz so I know them as Kumara. They're called that in the supermarket and fishnchip shops and everything... Just a fun fact lol

[@Trickytrickify]

In my country it’s called “telo” or ketela

[@kevinkay1718]

We call them the same in the Solomons. It is a staple in the rural areas. There is a specific type which is only grown in the Island of Isabel in the highlands (Solomon Islands) and it is the sweetest ever!

[@ТатьянаПищева-ц5в]

We call them "batat" in Russia

[@alicetwain]

My family originates from Emilia Romagna, in Italy: the land of stupped pasta and most importantly of pumpkin ravioli. I love them and I love pumpkin, but a few years back we had the idea to use sweet potatoes for ravioli: they are delish. Sweet potatoes, though, are much drier than pumpkin or squash, so you can make them half and half with pumpkin or just dilute the filling with a dash of milk (or vegetable milk).

[@squeaksbuffeteria564]

Sweet potato, cut into wedges/strips/chips, put in the oven on 190C for 30/40/50 mins depending on your oven. and BOOOM. DELICIOUSNESS. The purple skinned sweet potatoes are my fave. taste like cake batter crust.

[@jamesbunyard23]

Love them and so versatile. cooked and cool Egg whites, with mash sweet, cocoa powder and diced mango. An amazing cold desert.

[@ashbeelynne]

I cook mine by cutting them into disks like a chip, some came out thin some thicker, I put them on a cookie sheet, put some olive oil and sea salt on them, then laid them out in rows. Cooked them in the oven on 350 for about 20 mins. They were to die for!! Some of the thin ones came out crispy like a chip which were amazing and the others were fluffy and amazing on the inside. I always left the skin on too.

[@lasers0pewpew]

I don't know if it's been mentioned already, but I love it simply mashed with salt, pepper, garlic powder and paprika. Then I serve it with some crushed nuts on top - it looks super fancy and it tastes amazing!

[@shelleynobleart]

Grated raw with raw cauliflower and carrot, mixed with an egg, small handful of cheese, olives, whatever you like, pressed flat on a pizza stone, baked for an hour until golden and flat bread-like. I use it as super food bread in sandwiches or top with favorites like artichoke hearts and sauteed tomitillo, more cheese and bake again as pizza crust. Been making one each week for over a year and rely on it for meal and snack making.

[@gmarina0]

Love love love them!! cube them up with a little drizzle of olive oil...fresh cranberries and a little feta cheese bake for 40 minutes till deliciousness

[@ShyClementine]

This is my 8 year old son's favorite vegetable. I have a difficult time getting him to eat any others so I'm forever glad that he will eat a sweet potato!

[@Lollilou2]

Love love love sweet potato! I actually never have any other potatoes in the house! Favourite is sweet potato mash that could be used with most meals! Bit of butter and some garlic and chilli salt, freshly ground black pepper and you're good to go!!

[@snoopikitten]

cooked sweet potato chopped and sauteed a bit brown on the edges, then served with a sunny side up egg on top! So ridiculously delicious!!

[@tthagan]

Garlic and chilli sweet potato wedges, tinkered about and found the perfect way to make them! Cut one large sweet potato into wedges, place in a bowl and add two cloves of crushed garlic, and one/two chopped chillies, then sprinkle some good olive oil or coconut oil, add some Cajun spicing and leave to marinate. Longer the better! Then cook at 180 for 20-30 minutes until crisp on outside!

[@capenyarinama]

Sweet potato fritters!!! Grated sweet potato, mixed with eggs, a bit of flour, salt pepper, smoked paprika powder, corriander seed or any herbs you want, spoon out some of the mixture and pan fried it!! Yumm.

[@lydiajoystuart4082]

I love sweet potaoes. Never liked them growing up. I like them now. Started eating them more for thier potassium and incredible fiber. I love making a root veggie "hash" beets, sweet potatoes, potatoe, carrots sometimes and mushrooms. All fried in water. Incredible flavour. Now I'm experimenting with sweet potatoes boats and other recipes.

[@Yanuh222]

The soup that was posted some time ago here on foodtube, with sweet potatoes, is not linked, but is marvelous! Made it more than once! Easy and amazing!

[@AlessandraLarios]

Mother nature is really impressive and i feel so blessed to be peruvian and knowing that all these "superfoods" (like sweet potato, quinoa, and many many more that are not that popular yet like "cañihua", "camu camu", and so on... ) are originally from Peru, also ecuador, bolivia, colombia and chile... i think south america has a LOT to offer :D

[@fionabingo]

I toss little cubes in coconut oil, salt, smoked paprika, and hot sauce then i roast em until they're crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. (400 for a half hour and then broiling at 450 until they're crisp tossing v often) i could eat these all day! they're basically lower effort sweet potato fries, sweet potato tots if you will. sometimes i squeeze lemon juice over them. they're super good added to salads too. also! my favorite accidental way to eat them is the little bits of caramelized sugar you get on the pan when you roast them whole. it's vegetable candy.

[@rubydaiz2403]

Sweet potato rocks!!!!!!! Yummiest recipe ever!!! - Chop sweet potato into Cubes and stick them in a baking dish, Sprinkle with a handful of pumpkin seeds, Drizzle over maple syrup and liquid coconut oil, and bake in a 180o oven until cooked!!!!!! Lovely on its own or added to a salad!!!! Yummy yum yum!!!!!!!!

[@heidiwright5248]

I often just bake a sweet potato, just wash, straight in the oven, I usually put it on 200 for around 40 mins-hour depending on size. I eat it like a jacket potato, the skin is lovely and crispy :) I often eat it with cheese and beans on top, with salad! Yum

[@SandyMergui]

I love sweet potato!! My fav is to cut into cubes and roast with butternut and onions. Toss in olive oil, salt and pepper, roast till tips are dark and dig in!! Super yummy!

[@suehasan384]

I love the sweet potato mash recipe where you microwave it for 14 mins and mix it with soya sauce, lemon and mango chutney and coriander leaves. I feel it is a beautifully balanced recipe for the sweetness of the sweet potato. The only thing I add to the one I make is a sprinkle of Chaat masala which is a spice you can use uncooked. I'm looking for the video of the excerpt I saw this recipe on from your 30 min meal program.

[@LubeckLee]

Here in Spain, sweet potatoes are boiled or roasted and cutted into thick slices, after then they are sweetened with sugar&cinnamon or honey. Delicious!!!

[@panktiajay]

Sweet potato curry: Roast spices for one minute in one tablespoon oil. Spices include red chilli, coriander powder, cumin powder, garam masala, turmeric and asafoetida. add water and sweet potatoes. Water should be just enough to cook sweet potatoes. In the end, add desiccated coconut, sesame seeds and salt. You could also do half potato and half sweet potato (for people who do not enjoy the taste or are new at trying sweet potato). Love this recipe!!!! Its my go to dinner. Takes very less time to cook. And of course enjoy it with Indian bread or rice :)

[@kingofpopmichaeljman]

When I was a kid, my mother had the most amazing sweet potato fries. She would slice them into strips, paint oil on the sides and bake them for about 45 minutes at 350 degrees F. She'd then melt down a combination of cheddar cheese and mozerella cheese, add chopped green and red peppers, grated garlic, and onions to the cheese sauce. Then pour the cheese sauce over the fries and bake in the oven at the same temperature as the fries for about 5 minutes. Freakin' amazing. 😁👍🏻

[@ClaireEquestrian]

I love substituting my normal potatoes for sweet potatoes! I make baked potatoes out of them. Instead of the massive portions you get from big baking potatoes I just throw them in the oven for, once they are done cut through them and add my toppings. Tuna, peppers, etc! If anyone try's this let me know your outcome!

[@FireicerCooper]

Sweet Potato used to make a Pom Puree with creme fraiche, butter, cheder cheese and Parmesan. I serve it with fish dishes as well as beef and chicken dishes.

[@westfan07]

I take a sweet potato and make little holes in it with a fork everywhere. Then, I put it in the microwave for about four minutes, I turn it around and microwave it for another four minutes. Then I cut it open and add some bacon, maple syrup and cinnamon. It's so easy and delicious!

[@utbamahmood4890]

Vitamin C: For immune system Manganese: For bone health during later age Potassium: For heart health Thiamine: For the nervous system Mr. Oliver Sir, I love you. Sweet potato fries are wicked! (But expensive over here where I live)

[@quendelf5407]

I have swapped my frozen chips out for sweet potatoes instead. takes a minute to chop them up and pop them in the oven for 40 mins with olive oil and a bit of salt and pepper (plus paprika if you fancy some sweet smokiness)

[@yojo004]

We love our sweet potato mash. Sometimes simple is best. a little butter from grass fed cows and milk and s & p.

[@JoshuaHults]

Simple fast effective. Just cut n throw into mixing bowl. Put enough olive oil in to get them slimy. Throw in a dash of salt, dash of pepper and a hefty amount of garlic. Oven 400 degrees 20-28 minutes dep on your oven. Done. I like these more than my main dish

[@cornishkate9086]

I love sweet potatoes, didn't use to but love them now! Baked with a bit of butter and chicken and salad on the side. Also cut into wedges or discs with a little olive oil and some peri peri spice sprinkled on, like nandos but healthier at home!

[@itsjelena]

Any tips for a first timer making sweet potato? I assume it is similar to squash in regards to the sweetness and I am not the biggest fan of sweet and savory combination. I would love to try it though, so what would be the direction i should go in?

I love 'em when they are deep fried/baked as chips, especially when they are all different colors. Taste great, looks nice, smells great, perfect for eating and watching videos on youtube.

My two favorite sweet potato snacks/sides are 1) baked and cubed sweet potato with cream cheese (that's it, two ingredients), and my second one is my cheesy garlic herb mash, in which I cook and mash the sweet potato, add a dash of milk, a spoonful of sour cream, and a triangle or two of Laughing Cow Garlic and Herb cheese spread. If it's pretty dense and sticky after that, just add a bit more milk!

I love sweet potato and coriander soup. Or even just sweet potato soup. I make it as any soup, chop sweet potatoes, carrots, onion, cook in stock then blend and add coriander green to the blend. You could cook with the coriander then the coriander flavour is more subtle. I like both ways.

The thing I do, make a sweet potato mash. Boil the potatoes, then mix in coconut milk and sea salt. Sometimes I toast up some desiccated coconut then mix those in. IT'S GLORIOUSLY DELICIOUS.

We have loads of sweet potato varieties in Peru and a LOT of recipes. I decided to combine both of my roots so I made a jacket sweet potato, fill it up with whatever u want and there you go. If u want to go for an all peruvian dish, there's no better than a Chicharron sandwich. Fry some seasoned pork chops, make some sweet potato crisps or chips (the one you like the most). Cut an onion and peruvian chili into thin plumes and marinate in lime juice, vegetable oil, salt, pepper and coriander for about an hour. Put everything between two slices of bread and it's done!

Egad. Been consuming sweet potatoes most of my life. They make much tastier french fries than spuds (albeit a bit on the limp side). Quite yummy with malt vinegar. Makes for an outrageous meal of fish and chips. Question for Mr Oliver though: what about yams? They are very similar but are a different veggie altogether. Highly nutritious, they compare favorably with sweet potato on vitamins and minerals (far more potassium, a lot less sodium, but falls short on Vit-A and Beta-carotene). Also, what is the percentage of nutrients contained in the skin of a sweet potato as opposed to the pulp? Bonus: the skin of a sweet potato or yam is mega-tasty. No need to peel, just give it a righteous scrub. Neat factoid: potatoes are a member of the nightshade family while sweet potatoes are morning glories. Yams are a completely different tuber altogether.

I love making sweet potato mash with coconut cream instead of dairy! Add a tiny bit of himalayan pink salt to balance out the sweetness. Yum!!!

An amazing salad (I don't have exact quantities, sorry! but it's pretty easy to eyeball as much as you need for the amount of people): - Sweet potato, cubed, drizzled with olive oil, roasted in oven with salt and pepper. - Baby spinach - Olive oil - Balsamic vinegar - Fetta, cubed/crumbled - Roasted pine nuts Toss it all together, viola! Add anything else your heart desires. It's DE-licious.

Tis season for fall squash and gourds in the US. Sweet potato, butter nut and pumpkin stews and chili for me. Sweet potato puddings as well.

Sweet Potato on Cottage/Shepherd's Pie (with a dash of Paprika on top) brings the pie to a whole new level. I'd love to see Jamie's take on this, maybe bring my recipe to a new level. Cheers.

My favourite way to use a sweet potato is for breakfast! I chop it up into tiny little cubes and fry it in grapeseed oil in a pan on low-medium heat. I add some smoked paprika and get a delicious sweet potato hash that I eat with eggs! Make sure the yolk is extra runny and you will start your day off smashingly! Loved the video Jamie! You've done it once again!! Xoxoxoxo

[@nicolawoods8418]

Baked Sweet potatoes with beans actually go well the sweet and savoury flavours are a great contrast, also sweet potato wedges are amazing too!

[@dianarojas7237]

I love it sautéed with a little bit of chorizo and a poached egg finished with fresh cilantro

[@natalieturnbull4030]

Sweet potato and spiced carrot soup is amazing!!

[@katiemetcalfe8669]

I never knew sweet potato was so good for you. I give it to my daughter because she prefers it over regular potatoes roasted with a bit of paprika sprinkled over the top.

I'm obsessed with sweet potato. When I am at work, I like to: Wash the sweet potato, pierce holes in it and then microwave it for 5 mins. Then slice it open and add salsa, avocado and sriracha sauce. Delish, Quick and nutritious! #vegan

[@lofts2399]

+Metaxia Flogeras So easy! I'm gonna try it :D (new vegan!)

[@Morfeusm]

[@amyisaway7800]

[@smashingpumpkin3]
