SMOKED CHILE SCALLOPED SWEET POTATOES

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
• Whisk together cream and chipotle puree until smooth.
• In a 9 by 9-inch casserole dish, arrange the potatoes in even layers. Drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the cream mixture and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream, and salt and pepper to form 10 layers.

SWEET POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Melt the butter in a small skillet over medium heat. Add the breadcrumbs and gingersnap crumbs and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, 3 to 5 minutes; set aside.
• Combine the heavy cream, maple syrup, thyme, allspice, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and the cayenne in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil, then remove from the heat.
• Butter a 3-quart baking dish. Spread a single layer of sweet potatoes in the bottom of the baking dish and pour about one-third of the cream mixture on top. Repeat to make 2 more layers of potatoes and cream. Cover with foil and bake 40 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the cream is bubbling and the potatoes are lightly browned and tender when pierced with a knife, 40 to 50 more minutes, sprinkling the breadcrumb mixture over the potatoes during the last 5 minutes of baking.

SCRAMBLED EGGS WITH SWEET POTATO BISCUITS, HAM STEAK AND RED-EYE GRAVY

Steps:

• Make the biscuits: Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Prick the surface of the potato with a fork, put the potato on a baking sheet and roast until it is soft and a paring knife easily slips into the center, about 1 hour. Cool briefly, then halve and scoop the flesh out from the skin (discard the skin) and into a small bowl. Mash the potato until smooth, then refrigerate until cold, at least 1 hour.
• Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
• Whisk together the cold potato puree and the muscovado sugar in a medium bowl until smooth. Whisk in the buttermilk.
• Whisk together the 2 1/4 cups flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a large bowl. Sprinkle the cubed butter over the dry ingredients, and using your hands or a pastry blender, cut the butter into the flour until the mixture resembles very coarse cornmeal with the largest pieces of butter about the size of a large pea. Stir in the sweet potato mixture and gently mix until a soft dough forms.
• Turn the dough out onto a floured work surface and pat it into a 1-inch-thick round. Using a 2-inch round biscuit cutter, stamp out as many biscuits as you can. Gently press the scraps together and stamp out more biscuits. Place the biscuits about 1 inch apart on the prepared baking sheet, then brush the tops with the cream and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and brush with the melted butter. Transfer to a bowl or basket and loosely cover with a kitchen towel to keep warm while you make the ham, gravy and eggs.
• Make the ham steak and red-eye gravy: Heat the oil in a large cast-iron pan over medium heat. Add the ham steak and cook on both sides until golden brown, about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the ham to a cutting board.
• Add the onion to the drippings in the pan and cook, stirring often, until slightly soft, about 1 minute. Add the brown sugar and some salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often for 1 minute. Stir in the flour and cook while stirring constantly for 1 minute. Slowly stir in the coffee, bring the gravy to a simmer, and cook, stirring, until thickened, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the butter, then remove from the heat, taste and season with more salt and pepper if needed. Cover to keep warm while you make the eggs.
• Make the scrambled eggs: Beat the eggs until well combined in a large bowl. Season with some pepper. Melt the butter in a medium nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add the eggs and immediately start to stir with a wooden spoon or heatproof rubber spatula to form small curds. Once the eggs are barely set, add some salt and cook, stirring constantly, just until the eggs are set but still very soft and loose. Remove from the heat.
• Cut the ham into large chunks and divide among 4 plates. Top the ham with a scoop of eggs, gravy and a few cilantro sprigs. Add 2 biscuits to each plate and serve immediately.

HOME SWEET POTATO HOME AU GRATIN

Steps:

• In a large saucepan combine milk, cream, nutmeg, cinnamon, salt, and pepper. Gently fold in sweet potatoes. Bring to a simmer and allow sauce to thicken.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

ELEVEN-LAYER POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• In a 10-by-10-by-2-inch casserole, arrange some of the potatoes in an even layer, drizzle with 3 tablespoons of the cream and season with salt and pepper. Repeat with the remaining potatoes, cream and salt and pepper to form 11 layers. Press down on the layers to totally submerge them in the cream.
• Cover and bake for 30 minutes; remove the cover and continue baking until the cream has been absorbed, the potatoes are cooked through and the top is browned, 30 to 45 minutes longer. Evenly distribute the Caramelized Shallots and Fried Sage Leaves over the top.
• Melt the butter in a large saute pan over medium heat. Add the shallots and sugar and slowly cook, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and caramelized, about 40 minutes; season with salt and pepper.
• Heat the oil in a small saucepan over medium heat until it begins to simmer. Add the sage leaves in batches and fry for a few seconds until crisp. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate lined with paper towels and season with salt.
• Cover and refrigerate the flavored oil to save for sauteing fish, chicken or pork chops.

SO-CAL SWEET POTATO AND POTATO GRATIN

Steps:

• If you have a gas burner, roast the poblano peppers over the open flame, turning occasionally with tongs, until the peppers are well charred all over, about 4 minutes. If you do not have a gas burner, halve the peppers lengthwise, place them in a baking pan and broil them in a preheated broiler, skin-side up, until well charred. Place the charred peppers in a bowl and cover with plastic wrap for 10 minutes. Peel, stem and deseed the peppers, then cut into strips.
• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Butter a 9-by-13-inch baking dish.
• Stir together the cream, salt, lime zest, cumin and garlic in a bowl.
• Peel the sweet potatoes and russet potatoes and thinly slice them with a mandoline (about 1/4-inch thick).
• Arrange half of the russet potatoes in the buttered baking dish. Top with half of the sliced poblanos, then half of the sweet potatoes. Top with half of the cream mixture and 1/3 cup Cotija. Repeat with the remaining ingredients (potatoes, poblanos, sweet potatoes, cream and the remaining 2/3 cups Cotija) and press down firmly to submerge the potatoes as much as possible.
• Cover the baking dish tightly with foil and bake for 35 minutes. Uncover and continue to bake until the potatoes are tender, the liquid has absorbed, and the top is browned in spots, 25 to 30 minutes more.
• Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

SWEET POTATO AND GRUYèRE GRATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees and generously butter a 9-by-13-inch baking pan or shallow gratin dish. Butter a piece of foil large enough to cover top of pan. Sprinkle Parmesan all over bottom of pan.
• In a medium pot, bring cream, sage, rosemary, garlic, nutmeg and a pinch of salt to a simmer. Simmer until reduced by 1/4, about 10 minutes.
• In a large, heatproof bowl, whisk eggs just enough to break them up. Slowly pour hot cream into eggs to combine, whisking while pouring, and reserve the mixture.
• Meanwhile, using a mandoline or sharp knife, slice the potatoes into 1/8-inch-thick rounds.
• Place 1 layer of potatoes in the pan, slightly overlapping as you go, using about a third of the slices. Sprinkle with 1/4 teaspoon salt and pepper to taste, then pour 1/3 of the egg mixture over potatoes. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Repeat with another layer of potatoes, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, pepper and 1/3 egg mixture. Top with 1/2 cup Gruyère. Top with remaining potatoes, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper to taste, and remaining egg mixture (but not the remaining cheese). Press down to compact the potatoes. Cover with foil and bake until potatoes are tender, about 40 minutes, then remove foil, sprinkle top with remaining 2/3 cup Gruyère and bake until browned and bubbling, 25 to 30 minutes. Let cool slightly, then serve.
