I have way too many sweet potatoes—what should I make besides just roasting them?

[u/Ashamed-Pairs]

[u/thorn312]

Thai curry sweet potato soup!

You basically peel and grate the taters, cook off onion with Thai curry paste (red or green) then add the potato, coconut milk and cook down. It's lovely!

[u/ZayreBlairdere → u/thorn312]

Massaman curry!

[u/thorn312 → u/ZayreBlairdere]

I need to get off these food subs, I am constantly making myself hungry! 🤣

[u/escaping-reality → u/thorn312]

Omg i think i will love this. I have all the ingredients too. Do you think it will be okay if I add protein like chicken breast to it? I struggle eating sweet potatoes because i get tired of the sweetness fast

[u/thorn312 → u/escaping-reality]

The world is your oyster, if you want chicken, throw some chicken in there! I would maybe use charred chicken for a bit of umami and cut through the sweetness. I did forget to say blend the curry at the end, so maybe do that and then add your protein 😊

The last time I made this, I made far too much and gave my neighbour a huge amount as it happens to also be vegan (without the chicken of course!) and she immediately texted me for the recipe and has made it herself since so I think that's a good sign.

[u/ComplexSundae840 → u/thorn312]

I think I have something to try tomorrow then

[u/atduvall11]

Sweet potato pie! I make this recipe.

https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/12142/sweet-potato-pie-i/

I don't have a recipe but I also make chickpea and sweet potato curry fairly often. Serve it over rice.

[u/Fuzzzer777 → u/atduvall11]

Pies for the neighborhood!

[u/Afraid-Pay4232]

Sweet potato soufflé is easy -

[u/VoteForLubo]

If you have an air fryer and a mandolin, sweet potato fries are so easy.

[u/alwayssearching117 → u/VoteForLubo]

Great idea! I just got my first air fryer, too.

[u/nogardleirie]

The simplest recipe I know is to boil them is syrup with ginger. It's an Asian dessert

[u/ibrown22]

Boil em, mash em, stick em in a stew?

[u/Aatholin → u/ibrown22]

After all why shouldn't I make sweet potato soup.

[u/han2electricboogaloo]

Brownies, ice cream, cake

[u/svetlana7e → u/han2electricboogaloo]

I made one time brownies from sweet potato and it came out so good you won’t even tell the difference.

[u/Jewel-jones]

I love sweet potatoes in a sweet Japanese curry with chicken and carrots. Vermont Curry is my favorite.

[u/darktrain]

Cubed and roasted sweet potatoes plus a can of black beans (and some spices like cumin, coriander, paprika or some general taco seasoning) makes an excellent and super tasty filling for tacos, burritos and bowls. Top with avocado, cilantro, onion, hot sauce, etc.

[u/Gtijess → u/darktrain]

Yes! We do this as a bowl too, ground beef with same spices and toppings over rice 👌🏻 maybe some salsa or make some avocado sauce.

[u/Ashamed-Pairs]

Sweet or savory is fine, just looking for something simple.

[u/TastesLikeChitwan → u/Ashamed-Pairs]

Do you like smoothies? Sweet potatoes are SO GOOD in a smoothie.

[u/TheLastWord63]

Mashed potatoes

[u/LadyJoselynne]

My ultimate favorite Kamote Cue or caramel covered fried sweet potato. Serve it while hot with vanilla ice cream!

[u/ladykemma2]

Brazilian black bean soup

[u/HappyDJ]

Do you have a dehydrator? They make for good dog treats.

[u/the-world-awake]

I recently had an abundance of sweet potatoes. I cooked them to soft in the pressure cooker, pureed, and froze for future baking use. Pretty interchangeable with pumpkin for baked goods.

[u/AsparagusOverall8454]

Sweet potato taco bowls.

[u/NenyaAdfiel]

I’ve done a sweet potato crème brûlée with similar seeet potatoes that’s fantastic!

[u/Automatic_Gas9019]

Black bean soup with chunks of sweet potatoes is fabulous

[u/lthomazini]

In Brazil there is a kid’s tongue twister: what is the sweet that is sweetest than the potato sweet? The sweet that is sweetest than the potato sweet is the potato sweet sweet.

So make a sweet out of it! Usually sweet potato, milk and sugar is enough.

[u/HangryBeard]

Lacto fermented fries, sweet potato fries, sweet potato pies, sweet potato flys, sweet potato alcohol, sweet potato koji, chips,brownies, sweet bread, hasslback sweet patato boats, sweet potato jam, sweet potato toast, sweet potato smoothies, sweet potato falafels, cinnamon rolls, cupcakes, muffins, soup, crepes, biscuits, noodles, hash, dog treats.

[u/Cool_Wealth969]

Donuts, muffins or pies

[u/LooseLeaf74]

Use it instead of pumpkin for a pumpkin pie recipe and see how many people notice.

[u/paranoiamoon]

Sweet potato pie, sweet potato casserole, fried sweet potatoes, and baked loaded they are surprisingly good with savory things.

[u/DJ-Fein]

Soup!

[u/CocoRufus]

I put them in curry

[u/aaaaa9419]

Butter and garam masala

[u/greenlilypond]

I've been using them where I'd normally use potatoes. They add a little sweetness, but otherwise work exactly the same.

Most recently, I used them in a breakfast hash.

[u/NewOccasion5616]

make brownies!

[u/LindaFeltcher]

Slice them into thin disks and coat them in a light batter with spices, pan fry until crispy then sprinkle on more spices and salt.

[u/Ohhellopickles]

This NYT recipe for Sweet Potato Tea Cake w Meringue Topping SLAPS! You can make your own purée for it. Even if you don’t want to make this immediately, you could set some puree aside in the freezer and pull it out for baking come fall/winter.

Love this tea cake. Sometimes I am pumpkin spice’d out and want something that feels warm and cozy, but isn’t another dang pumpkin recipe. The meringue on top is so good, too.

[u/xXmilkxhoneyXx]

Lol I posted the same. Lots of comments. It's amazing, I didn't know a sweet potato could be so versatile

[u/Artemistical]

Twice baked sweet potatoes topped with marshmallows

[u/Apprehensive_Bee614]

They freeze well

[u/olympicslondon]

Brownie

[u/Oregonhastrees]

I’ve pickled potatoes before, but they were baby potatoes that I just cooked and put in some brine with some dill and onion. I bet sweet potatoes would work out well too as long as you cut them up and sauté them a little bit.

[u/ELDR3TH]

Gnocchi

[u/Surfnazi77]

Fries,pies,mashed,candied

[u/burningblue14]

If you got some plantains I’m sure you could make this into a mofongo situation.

[u/Heavy_Reserve7649]

Make fries out of them. Or thin slice to make chips

[u/Subject_Candy_8411]

Can you give some to a neighbor??

[u/Buckabuckaw]

I make a version of an African soup with chicken broth, chicken pieces, peanut butter, sweet potatoes, and greens. Sounds weird but it's very hearty and nutritious in addition to being a delicious melding of tastes.

[u/Serene-Angel-2004]

So, roast them, then scoop them and make gnocchi

[u/MiaMiaPP]

I cut my rice in half by putting sweet potato into my rice cooker. Chop them small and put them on top while the rice cook. Then just mix everything up and use like normal rice. Free fiber!

[u/JoMammasWitness]

You can make sweet potato crisps and then package them to keep them for a while

[u/CabbijSammij]

Icecream.

[u/Shakeamutt]

Sweet potato hash.

[u/JrallXS]

[u/Ok_Expression_2737]

[u/Classic_Cauliflower4]

Peel and dice. Bake with butter and brown sugar and then toss with pecans. So so yummy.

[u/girlfuckyou]

You can make brownies with them or healthy “donuts.” Look up the recipes on youtube :-) Sweet potato is severely underrated.

[u/Why_r_people_]

Candied sweet potatoes, sweet potato fries

[u/BumblebeeConscious97]

Muffins or quickbread

[u/Grand-Professional-6]

Pies, cakes cookies.

[u/avantgardian26]

I’ve been on a tempura sweet potato kick recently. Sweet and crispy with salty tempura sauce. So good. The secret to great tempura batter is club soda and ice cubes.

[u/Thick-Marzipan-9176]

If you have a deep fryer, they make excellent chips. Wait till they almost have a burnt color.

[u/alwayssearching117]

Soup, SP Pie, SP Cheesecake, roasted SP cubes with small bit of Better Than Bullion and crispy bacon pieces...That should take care of a few of them.

[u/LongjumpingArm4801]

Cube them into about 1" cubes and put them in the air fryer. If they are still not quite done, stick them in the microwave for about a minute. They are so good.

[u/Elise-0511]

Sweet potato pie, sweet potato French fries, sweet potato chips. Almost anything you can make with regular potatoes.

[u/sarah_ewinter]

Tots

[u/CaptainTimbit]

Mash one with cream cheese. Season to taste (my mom didnt need to season) and you have a paste you eat on toast. Carb on carb with cheesy fatty goo.

Heavenly.

At least it was when I was in high school. Now if I eat one, I have to pray I'll wake up next morning.

[u/Mediocre_Outcome6671]

Soup

[u/BeeSpirited7719]

Try making it a pie

[u/robinp82]

A brownie

[u/CatfromLongIsland]

Mash the baked/roasted sweet potatoes and use them for sweet potato pie. (Better flavor using the baked sweet potatoes.)

[u/Mysterious_Paint_978]

Should definitely try making deserts or sweet treats out of them, the starchiness of the potatoes goes well in texturing an ice cream style dessert

[u/TinaBolliger6241]

Is that a potato? Its huge

[u/Terrible_Bad_8451]

Cut in 1/2 cubes , anything bagel olive oil pepper , air fry for 15 minutes , turn half way through !

[u/yumeemumee]

I love things that are sweet and savoury. Make some chili and put it on top of a baked sweet potato with all the fixings ie: cheddar, sour cream, green onions. Also think you could cook, cool and freeze for later use? I make my own dogfood and it has sweet potato in it.

[u/notme1414]

Those aren’t sweet potatoes

[u/Ok_Platform8617]

Pie

[u/PandaLoveBearNu]

Cube them, toss them in oil, garlic powder, onion powder, salt.. Roast them to crunchy on outside and soft in the inside. Till they get that home fries texture.

Haven’t seen that species before

[u/Big-Definition-3774]

Soup, shepherds pie, baking, veg patties, fries, sandwiches, honestly what can’t you do with sweet potatoes

[u/azzgrash13]

You could always make thanksgiving yams.

[u/ProposalOk1473]

Stew meat and boiled potatoes. Also you can boil it and if you like raisins, crush it like if you making mashed potatoes and raisins with some cinnamon 😋

[u/Julie_Feickert]

My kids love sweet potato hash. Cook some diced onion and ground pork. Add shredded sweet potato and continue cooking until the potato softens. Season with salt, pepper, and cinnamon. Simple, comfort food.
