SUNDAY STASH SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Cut potatoes in half lengthwise and divide between 2 rimmed baking sheets. Drizzle with oil and season all over with salt. Rub sweet potatoes with your hands to evenly coat, then arrange cut side down. Roast potatoes, rotating baking sheets top to bottom halfway through, until fork-tender, 25-35 minutes (depending on their size, some may be done before others; test each one every 5 minutes after the 25-minute mark).
• Do Ahead: Sweet potatoes can be roasted 4 days ahead. Let cool; cover and chill.

FEEL GOOD SWEET POTATO STEW

Steps:

• Heat a large saucepan over medium heat and add the oil. When hot, add the garlic and onions and cook until beginning to soften, about 2 minutes. Add the potatoes, turmeric, coriander and pepper and cook for 2 minutes. Add the crushed tomatoes, beans, coconut milk, vegetable stock and nuts and bring to a simmer. Cook until the potatoes are tender and the liquid thickens, 20 to 30 minutes. Taste and season with salt if needed.
• Serve the stew in bowls with lime wedges for squeezing. Garnish with cilantro and hot sauce if using.

SOUTHWESTERN SALAD

Steps:

• In a large salad bowl, toss together the beans, green onions, tomato, avocado and half of the Catalina dressing. Top with cheese and then lettuce. Refrigerate. Just before serving, add corn chips to salad and toss. Serve with remaining dressing.

Mash the potato in the bowl with milk, salt, pepper and butter until smooth, or as smooth as you prefer. Stir in the green and red peppers, jalapeno and garlic until evenly distributed.
