SALT-RUBBED SWEET POTATOES WITH SOUR CREAM AND CHIVES



Salt-Rubbed Sweet Potatoes With Sour Cream and Chives image

If you've ever thought the somewhat-dull sweet potato could use some punch, try covering it in a layer of salt before you bake it: The salt flavors and tenderizes the skin, leaving a crisp exterior that begs for the cooling tang of sour cream. Leave the potatoes a little damp after you've scrubbed them clean so that you'll have an easier time getting the salt to stick.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 medium sweet potatoes (8 to 10 ounces each), scrubbed and left damp
2 tablespoons kosher salt
1/4 cup sour cream
1/4 cup minced chives
Black pepper

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.

EASY CREAMY MASHED SWEET POTATOES



Easy Creamy Mashed Sweet Potatoes image

These easy mashed sweet potatoes are on the savory side, but you can add a few extra ingredients for a sweeter version. See our tips in the notes section below for our suggestions. You can simmer, bake, microwave, or use a pressure cooker to cook the sweet potatoes. Our preferred method is to simmer the potatoes since this takes a similar amount of time when using a pressure cooker and when microwaving them and less time than when using an oven. We have included the steps for cooking sweet potatoes in the oven, microwave, and pressure cooker in the article above.

Time 30m

Yield Makes 6 servings (about 5 1/2 cups)

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 pounds sweet potatoes, scrubbed clean (5 to 6 small-to-medium)
1 1/2 teaspoons fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1 bay leaf, optional or a substitute fresh thyme or rosemary sprig
3 tablespoons butter
1/8 teaspoon ground cinnamon or more to taste
3 tablespoons sour cream, heavy cream, milk or half-and-half, optional
Fine herbs and fresh ground black pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • Peel and cut sweet potatoes into 1-inch cubes. Add to a large pot and add enough water so that they are covered by about one inch of water. Add the salt and bay leaf.
  • Bring the water to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a fork, 10 to 12 minutes. Drain well, and then return the potatoes to the pot. Or if you plan to use a food processor, add them directly to the processor bowl. (A food processor makes extra silky mashed sweet potatoes.)
  • Add the butter, cinnamon, black pepper, and a pinch of salt. Mash the sweet potatoes with a potato masher until your desired consistency. If using a food processor, pulse until your desired consistency.
  • For extra creamy sweet potatoes, stir in sour cream or a splash of heavy cream, milk, or half-and-half. Serve with extra butter and chopped fresh herbs (optional) on top.

CRUSHED SOUR CREAM POTATOES



Crushed Sour Cream Potatoes image

These extremely rich, highly textured potatoes are no less luxurious than the silky mashed variety, but they are a lot less work. There's no ricing, mashing or whipping - just a simple crush to expose the potatoes' craggy interior. From here on out, the key word is "cream": Creamy potatoes meld with the garlicky heavy cream mixture and lots of sour cream. Small (and yes, creamy) potatoes on the waxy side, like a new potato or even a fingerling, work best here, but a more floury potato cut into large chunks would also work in a pinch. Don't skimp on the black pepper or chives. They truly make this dish.

Categories     dinner, vegetables, side dish

Time 35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

4 pounds small, creamy potatoes, no larger than a golf ball, such as gold creamer
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cups heavy cream
6 large garlic cloves, crushed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sour cream, plus more for serving
1/2 cup finely chopped chives
1/3 cup coarsely chopped dill

Steps:

  • Cook potatoes in a large pot of boiling, salted water until tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain. (This step can be done ahead of time; keep potatoes covered and warm on the stovetop.)
  • Meanwhile, in a medium pot over medium heat, gently simmer the cream and the garlic until garlic is completely tender and cream is reduced by about a third (it will look slightly thicker, about the consistency of melted ice cream), 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and lots of pepper. Add butter and swirl to melt. (This can also be done ahead; rewarm before proceeding.)
  • Using your hands or something like a small dish or bowl, crush the potatoes and place in a large bowl. Pour cream mixture over the potatoes, and season with salt and more pepper. Toss to coat, encouraging the potatoes to break down slightly but remain textured and chunky.
  • Stir in sour cream, half the chives and half the dill. Transfer to a large serving bowl and top with remaining chives and dill, and more black pepper and sour cream, if you like.
