GREEK LEMON SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil in a saucepan large enough to fit potatoes. While water is coming to a boil wash and peel potatoes.
• Cut potatoes into 1/8 inch medallions and add to boiling water and cook for 4-5 minutes. The potatoes should hold their shape and be slightly firm in the middle. While potatoes are cooking chop the parsley and assemble the rest of the ingedients.
• Strain the potatoes and set a sauté pan over medium heat and add butter until barely foaming then add the potatoes to the pan and season with cumin and salt and pepper to taste. Cook the potatoes until slightly browned and fully cooked in the middle.
• Once the potatoes are cooked, add the lemon juice to the pan and toss until fully coated. Check for seasoning and turn off the heat. Once off the heat, add the chopped parsley and toss. Serve warm.

SWEET POTATOES BAKED WITH LEMON

Steps:

• Rinse the potatoes under warm water. Place in a large pot, cover with cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are just tender, 25 to 30 minutes. Drain and let cool.
• Combine the sugar, ½ cup water, nutmeg, lemon zest and salt in a medium saucepan, bring to a simmer over medium heat and cook for 10 minutes. Add 5 tablespoons butter and stir well. When the butter has melted, remove from the heat and beat in the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Heat oven to 425 degrees. Peel the sweet potatoes and slice into 1/2-inch disks. Use the remaining tablespoon of butter to grease a shallow baking dish. Lay the sweet potatoes in the dish in a single layer and pour the lemon syrup on top. Bake until bubbling hot, about 30 minutes.

LEMON GLAZED SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Zest lemon and set aside; squeeze juice from lemon and also set aside (you should have about 4 tablespoons).
• In a small saucepan, simmer 3/4 cup water with sugar and salt, stirring until sugar dissolves; remove from heat and add lemon juice, pepper, nutmeg, and 2 tablespoons of butter.
• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and grease a 10 inch circular or 8 x 10 inch casserole pan with butter.
• Peel sweet potatoes and cut into 1/8 to 1/2 inch thick slices.
• Arrange potato slices, in overlapping layers, bearing in mind that they will shrink and soften a little when they cook.
• Pour over the lemon syrup, dot with remaining butter, cover tightly with aluminum foil and bake until tender, 45 minutes to 1 hour.
• Remove foil, turn oven up to 450 degrees F and bake until most of the liquid has evaporated and potatoes begin to brown slightly on top, 10 to 25 minutes.
• Sprinkle with lemon zest and thyme or parsley, if desired.

ROASTED HONEY-LEMON SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Peel and cut the sweet potatoes into 1 1/2-inch irregular chunks. The more edges they have, the better they will taste because each edge will become crispy from broiler.
• Parboil potato chunks in a large saucepan until they are softened, but not mushy. Sometimes I prefer to steam them quickly instead, it's your choice. The potatoes need to be almost totally cooked, because they will only be crisped in your oven broiler.
• While sweet potatoes are boiling or steaming, mix the lemon juice, olive oil, and honey in a large bowl.
• Set oven on LOW broil or set top broiler element to 450 degrees as soon as potatoes are added to mixture.
• Drain potatoes and toss with lemon/oil/honey mixture until totally coated. Pour into a 9 by 13 baking dish. Sprinkle with the sea salt, and roast under your oven's broiler setting on second-to-top rack of oven (not too close! Use the rack about 3 inches down from broiler. Broil until edges begin to brown.
• You'll have to stand and keep an eye on them, this only takes a few minutes with a broiler. Sometimes I rake them over once with a long handled spatula or turn them with silicone tongs.
• Remove from oven and serve immediately. Warn everyone it's a HOT plate!
