SMOKED PAPRIKA SWEET POTATOES (PUREE OR MASHED)
Seriously, there aren't words to describe how delicious this is. I first had it in a local gourmet organic restaurant, and couldn't get over how delicious it was. I later found the recipe on the web and was surprised how simple it was. Buying some nice smoked paprika is a MUST, don't even bother trying it without it. The flavor from the smoked paprika combined with the sweetness of the potatoes makes the dish extraordinary. (Don't worry if your grocery store only sells "yams", in north America yams and sweet potatoes are the same thing)

Steps:
- Pierce washed potatoes, wrap in foil, place on baking tray in oven at 400 degrees for 1 hour or until very tender.
- When cooled just enough to handle, peel off the skin and cut into chunks that fit your food processor or extremely powerful blender.
- Melt the butter and the spices together in the microwave.
- Blend the potato with the melted spiced butter and the cream following the instructions of your processor or blender, serve when blended throughout.
- *I used an extremely high powered blender (a vita mix) and had to stop and stir while pureeing multiple times so as to not burn out the motor. If it is too thick, add some more cream or milk to get it to the consistency you want it. Feel free to add more smoked paprika if you enjoy the flavor as much as I do!

ROASTED SWEET POTATOES WITH SMOKED PAPRIKA
This is a simple way to put an enormous amount of flavor on a plate, and it is particularly delicious with roast chicken - or as a side dish for slab-bacon tacos with burned scallion crema. (Drizzle a little of the crema onto the potatoes just before serving, as if to recall the aioli served with patatas bravas in Spain.) As always when using paprika, smoked or plain, if you can't recall the last time you did so, it is time for a new jar. All spices go stale. Paprika does so quickly.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 425 degrees. Combine the sweet potatoes, onion and garlic in a large bowl, and drizzle the olive oil over it, then toss to coat. Sprinkle the salt, pepper and smoked paprika over the potatoes, and toss again to coat. Tip the potatoes onto a sheet pan or into a shallow casserole, then cover it with foil.
- Roast the potatoes in the oven, tossing occasionally, until they are soft at the center and beginning to crisp at the edges, approximately 30 to 40 minutes. Serve hot, drizzled with burned-scallion crema if you like.
