STIR-FRIED SWEET POTATOES

In a 2010 love letter to the food processor, Mark Bittman gave the machine the ultimate compliment: "I upgraded its position in my kitchen from a cabinet to a spot on my itsy-bitsy counter," he wrote. Here, he uses the machine to chop and grate vegetables, cutting down on prep time (and any possibility of shredding your knuckles on a box grater). The end result is a quick side dish, full of flavor from the ginger and soy sauce.
