Salt Rubbed Sweet Potatoes With Sour Cream And Chives Recipes

SALT-RUBBED SWEET POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 400 degrees. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Use a fork to poke holes all over the flesh of the damp potatoes, then rub each one all over with 1/2 tablespoon salt.
• Bake for about 1 hour, until tender, then allow to cool slightly before brushing off excess salt and slicing each one lengthwise. Open up the sweet potato, use a fork to rough up its flesh, then dollop each with 1 tablespoon sour cream and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon chives. Garnish with black pepper.

BAKED SWEET POTATOES WITH CHARRED ONION RANCH DIP

Steps:

• Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
• Pierce the sweet potatoes multiple times with a paring knife or a fork. Place the potatoes along the outer edges of the indirect heat side of the grill. Cover the grill and bake until the potatoes are completely tender, about 1 hour. (If the potatoes are ready before you are ready to serve them, you can wrap them in aluminum foil and they will stay hot for up to 1 hour.)
• Meanwhile, make the dip: Cook the scallions over direct heat, turning once, until charred on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes. When cool enough to handle, finely slice and add to a bowl. Mix in the sour cream, parsley, Ranch Rub and celery seeds. Set aside until ready to serve.
• To serve: Split the sweet potatoes down the middle with a knife and spoon some of the ranch sour cream over, letting it melt down into the potato. Season with additional salt and pepper if desired.
• (Alternatively, you can bake the potatoes in a 400 degrees F oven for 1 hour.)
• Combine all the ingredients in a medium bowl and mix well. Makes about 3/4 cup.

SWEET POTATO HASH BROWNS

Steps:

• Using the large holes of a box grater, grate the sweet potato onto a paper towel. Use the paper towel to gather the sweet potato shreds, then squeeze to wring out excess moisture (there may not be much). Dump into a bowl, add cornstarch and mix to combine.
• Set your largest nonstick skillet (cast-iron is also fine, if it's all you have, though you can expect a bit more sticking) over medium-high heat and add 1/2 tablespoon butter. Swirl the pan to coat it in butter. When the butter stops foaming, sprinkle shredded sweet potato all over the surface in a thin single layer. (The thinner the layer, the more crisp the hash browns.)
• Sprinkle all over with salt, then use a spatula, preferably long and thin, to press down so all shreds come in contact with the hot surface. When you see the potato is starting to get really crisp and brown on the bottom, about 3 to 4 minutes, use the spatula to carefully flip small sections over (it's O.K. if it's not perfect). Cook until the other side is deeply brown, 3 to 5 minutes more, flipping sections as needed.
• Unless your pan is really big, you'll have to cook these in 3 to 4 batches, using 1/2 tablespoon butter for each round. You can keep the cooked hash browns warm in a 300-degree oven as you work.
