MEXICAN SWEET POTATOES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400° F and grease a large baking sheet with cooking spray. Place the sliced sweet potatoes in a large mixing bowl and toss with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Arrange the seasoned sweet potatoes in a single layer on the baking sheet with a little room in between each one and bake for 12-15 minutes, until they start to brown around the edges. You might need to work with two baking sheets.
• Transfer the potatoes to a 12'' cast iron skillet and layer with frozen corn and shredded cheese. Bake for 5-10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and top with sliced jalapeño, avocado, red onion, and cilantro. Serve immediately.

MEXICAN SWEET POTATO SOUP

Steps:

• Boil the kettle. Heat the vegetable oil in a large saucepan and fry the onion until just soft, about 4-5 mins. Stir in the chipotle paste and cook for 1 min more.
• Dissolve the stock cube in 1.2 litres boiling water from the kettle, and add to the pan along with the sweet potato. Bring to the boil, then simmer, covered, until the sweet potato is soft, about 10 mins. Whizz with a stick blender until smooth.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with a dollop of crème fraîche, a scattering of coriander leaves and some crusty bread rolls.

MEXICAN-INSPIRED SWEET POTATO HASH

Steps:

• Heat 4 tablespoons olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add sweet potatoes, carrots, bell pepper, and onion; cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20 minutes. Add garlic and continue cooking until vegetables have accumulated browned bits on them, about 5 minutes more.
• Stir black beans, corn, cinnamon, chipotle pepper, paprika, and cumin into the skillet. Mix thoroughly and reduce heat to medium-low, adding another tablespoon olive oil if mixture is dry. Cook for another 5 minutes before serving.

MEXICAN SWEET POTATOES RECIPE - (4.5/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees fahrenheit. Bake the sweet potatoes for 45-60 minutes. While sweet potatoes are baking, place corn in a heavy cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat with no butter or oil. Sprinkle with salt and other Mexican seasoning (as much as you want). Do not stir! Let corn roast for several minutes before stirring. Let it roast for a few more minutes before stirring again. Continue this for about 10 minutes, until corn is browned and roasted on the outside. Set aside in a small bowl with the black beans. Saute the onion in the butter over medium heat until soft and translucent. Set aside. Remove sweet potatoes from the oven when fork-tender. Let cool for 5-10 minutes. Cut the sweet potatoes in half. Scrape the flesh of the sweet potatoes out, leaving the skins intact. Sometimes leaving a thin layer of potato inside of the skins helps them hold together better. Mix the flesh of the sweet potatoes with the cream cheese, sour cream, chipotle peppers, and salt. You can use a mixer or just a spoon, depending on how soft the potatoes are. When well-mixed, gently stir in the black beans, roasted corn, sauteed onions, and cilantro. Scoop the filling into the skins and top each with 1 tablespoon shredded cheese. Broil for about 5 minutes or until cheese is melted.
