Yield Serves 6 to 8

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

2 pounds sweet potatoes
1 cup finely chopped onion
2 large Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 tablespoons crème fraîche or sour cream, or to taste
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
hot water for thinning the purée if necessary

Steps:

In a large saucepan boil the sweet potatoes, peeled and cut into 1-inch pieces, in water to cover for 10 to 12 minutes, or until they are very tender. While the sweet potatoes are boiling, in a large skillet cook the onion and the apples, peeled, cored, and sliced thin, with salt and pepper to taste in the butter over moderate heat, stirring, for 5 to 10 minutes, or until the apples are very tender. Drain the sweet potatoes well, in a food processor purée them with the apple mixture until the mixture is smooth, and with the motor running add the crème fraîche, the nutmeg, salt and pepper to taste, and enough hot water to thin the puré to the desired consistency.

This mixture of sweet potatoes, savory pumpkin and tart apples is a variation on my sweet potato puree with apples. For the best flavor, I suggest you make it a day ahead.

Yield Makes six to eight servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Ingredients

1 pound sweet potatoes, scrubbed
1 pound pumpkin, seeds removed
2 tart apples, such as Granny Smith or Braeburn
2 tablespoons lime juice
5 tablespoons plain Greek-style yogurt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
2 tablespoons maple syrup
Pinch of salt
Pinch of freshly grated nutmeg

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Scrub sweet potatoes, and pierce in several places with a sharp knife. Pierce the apples in a few places. Line a baking sheet with foil, lightly oil the foil, and place the potatoes, pumpkin (cut side down) and apples on top. Bake the pumpkin and apples for 30 to 40 minutes, until a knife can easily be inserted right to the core of the apples (it's fine if the skin pops off the apples, or if they collapse) and the pumpkin is soft. Remove the pumpkin and apples from the oven. Continue to bake the sweet potatoes until thoroughly soft and beginning to ooze, 15 minutes or longer, depending on the size. Remove from the heat, and allow to cool until you can handle them easily.
Turn the oven down to 350 degrees. Remove the skins from the potatoes and pumpkin. Peel and core the apples, and scrape off any apple flesh that adheres to the skin. Chop everything coarsely, and place in a food processor fitted with the steel blade. Puree until smooth. Add the remaining ingredients, and blend well. Transfer to a lightly buttered 2-quart baking dish.
Heat the puree in the 350-degree oven for 20 minutes, or until steaming. Serve hot.
